Question about reservoirs and drip systems

I recently bought a Power Grower Eco system, its a drip hydro system and im thinking about buying a few more. It looks like this

i didnt realize that id have to hook it up to a reservoir because i figured the water held at the bottom of the system would be enough.. i am very foolish sometimes...it has that blue hose on the side of it that is meant to hook up to a reservoir but all i need to know now is how to go about making one, can i just buy a rubbermade tub and drill a hole on the bottom-side of it and connect the the hose from the drip system to it? or will that flood the drip system to much??:peace:

a couple of drip manifolds for around $10 link here http://www.google.com/search?q=drip+irrigation+mainifolds&hl=en&tbs=shop:1&aq=f
some tubing and airstones for under $15
an air pump $15
Water pump $25
rubbermaid tote for you res. $10
and you are set spending less than $80/plant and able to spend more money on things like lighting, fans, filters, nutes etc.
Best of luck
