aging water tanks

[rodneyfisher]

Hey where is the best place to buy a water tank? I am currently using two 33 gallon garbage cans for my 110 gallon tank, but I am wanting to start a fish room. My local coop store has some but they are $150 for a 110 gallon tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS
Rodney

Check the links at the very bottom of the above sticky.

I love the search feature on these forums. Sometimes doesn't find what I'm after, but does a bunch of times. Thanks to Ardan for putting these together.

Alan. WOW! Thanks for sharing the link.
Those are some FANTASTIC prices!

Have u ordered from them?

Everything as promised?

Recently ordered but I haven't received yet. I'll update you when I get the drums. I ordered 2 of the 50 gal. Shipping is via USPS @ $17.50 each which makes the total to $40/drum.

Check around for some bottling plants, Coke or Pepsi. I recently got 8-55 gallon drums that the shipped syrup in for free, all I had to do was go get them and pressure wash them out. HTH Susan

We picked up a few locally from school employee. They contained fruit punch, paid $3.00 each.

I found mine, a 275 gallon tank in a "heavy truck trader" magazine. I paid 75 bucks for mine. Some construction companies have these after they have been used once to transfer products. Just be sure that you find out what use to be in it.

I know a lot of people have done it and had no problems, but... personally speaking, the word "used" scares me :scared:

I get 'em from a local bakery, used to contain food coloring. FREEEEEE!
