Stock Tank

[wtrujillo]

Do you guys know where i can find those rubbermaid stock tanks?

[jaded]

I think alexwolf had one for sale... it was in the FOR SALE/TRADE forum

[GaryP]

Are you talking about something the size of a horse trough or the size of a storage tote?

[jaded]

I should have thought of that GP... the one alex had/has was/is 100 gallon I believe

[wtrujillo]

the 100 to 150 gallon size ones.

Tractor supply, but you need to change the bulkhead because the one that comes with it is terrible.

[don-n-sa]

how much do they run?

[Polkster13]

There is a Tracot Supply on 183 just north of where we are having the meeting. If you cannot find one close to you and you are coming to the meeting, that might be an option you want to consider. Also consider the size of these things. You will need a pickup or large van to fit them into. I was just able to get a 55 gallon into my Jeep Cherokee.

Here is a link to their web site: http://www.mytscstore.com/detail.asp?pcID=8&paID=1039&sonID=214&page=1&produ ctID=1491

this website rocks!!! I was thinking about going grocery shopping... can you guys tell me where bread is the cheapest... also if you could include the ingredients, nutritional values, biological impact if I dont eat it all, package size and tare weight that would be great

thanks

[wtrujillo]

Thanks for the help, everyone.

[WolfReef]

i have a 100 for sale. $75

[Polkster13]

Hey Jade,

Anytime man. Would that be whole wheat or white bread? :shades

My secret is a little thing called Google. It also doesn't hurt that I have purchased 3 55 gllon and one 300 gallon stock tanks as well. :skeezy

[wtrujillo]

i'm looking to set one up as a fuge for a 340 gallon tank. How big of a stock tank should i get?

[WolfReef]

i like the 100, it has a nice bulkhead at the bottom already. the 50 is the same footprint but half the height.

[jaded]

Would that be whole wheat or white bread?

then only acceptable answer would be... please specify the nurtitional differences, taste preferences (feel free to look up any recent polling and taste test results) chemical compounds and techniques used in creating each and don't spare the details!!!

;)

[Polkster13]

ROTFLMAO

[jaded]

Man I crack me up...

The problem with them is that they sit pretty high. I guess it would depend on how much free space you have. Is it going under the tank or in a fish room?

[wtrujillo]

the exact location of the tank (in wall or not) has not been decided, but everything else will be plumbed through to the garage. I guess like what pete's doing now.

[jaded]

your going to have the "garage" fish room air conditioned right?

[wtrujillo]

those are the kind of details being hammered out right now.

[GaryP]

It will probably be to high for an under tank sump. It'll take up a good piece of real estate in a fish room too but you can probably design around it. You probably want to do a floor plan for the fish room.

The stock tanks take up a lot of space and wouldn't fit under a tank unless it's 30inches wide or larger. I have the Rubbermaid 50g and 100g from Tractor Supply Co. I think I got the 50g for like $58 and the 100g for less than $70, not much difference in price suprisingly. As you are in S.A., the closest ones are in Boerne, San Marcos, or Sequin. They do have other sizes/brands there as well.
