Call me any time you like Faz,

My number is on my website.

Hi Bernard,

Good prices, but those tanks are smaller than the ones I use. Mine are 43"wide and those are like 29".  I found someone who has a bunch of them for 100 bucks or less, but they are used like mine with the holes in them. We did so much work in the new place and it came out so nice we didnt want to use old and dirty tanks, so we built our own from plywood. I am going to use the 5 I already have, but thats it.

Rob

^^^ Yeah, the reason I bought these is because they are not as wide and will fit as a temporary storage/future sump in the apartment.  I got two of those myself which even if I keep water lever fairly low will give me about 240 gallons of volume.  Pretty good for tanks that weight ~60lbs each and are virtually indestructable. Easy to move and won't shatter.  Anyhow, Rob, you are doing one heck of a job with your new farm, I'd like to visit when you get it going.  Maybe a BAS SIG trip?

For those who are interested the larger square ones (that Rob has mentioned) are also available but around $180 a piece

Nice Bro,

I really like those tanks. They can bow a bit if you fill them up all the way, but they are tall enough that you only have to go 1/2 to 2/3 the way up. Good luck. You guys can come down any time you like. I should be finished in the next 3-4 weeks. Summer time would be best. Its gonna be tough fitting alot of people in there unless we can open the garage doors.
