water container

[seamonkey2]

I'm sure someone has already asked this question, so please amuse me, I am looking for a 150 or so gallon plastic container, for water changes, I saw the one in finaddict, and for those of you that have seen it, that is what I'm looking for, is basically a barrel with short legs on its side, fills from the top and drains at the bottom.

all help will be apreciated

thanks

Check tractor supply or any water drilling company.

Ask Gator it came from his house.

Not sure where Gator got his, but you could try the restuarant supply places, Tractor Suppy, and the online/catalog places like usplastic.com and aquaticeco.com.

there is also a barrel company just south of downtown SA. I forget the name but I found it doing a search for barrels in the yellow pages. They sell drums about 50-80 gallons that have been used for foods like coke syrup and such. they might even have bigger ones

Jose, I have a catalog for a container company here in SA. I'll take a look there. Are you looking for a horse trough type container or something else. They only other thing I can think of is a plastic tote like they used for soap. You can also see them in the back of exterminator trucks and for guys that do power washing. They are available in sizes up to 350 gal.

thats the ticket Gary, something I can fillup to 200 ga and do a water change to each tank and be done, that the right kind of tank, and of course local would be a plus
thanks

OK, I bought a couple of them years ago when I was doing environmental work. They are those plastic cubes inside an aluminum cage.

Follow Gator's advice and measure it twice. Most residential exterior doors are 36inches and then interior doors are 28inches.

Gator, how much did you pay for the 125?

is going to be house in the garage, so it will fit

ok, so I got the 275ga water container, finally I can do a water change on all of my tanks(close to 750ga) at one time,LOL

so the container use to hold coca cola, it has been clean, but still smells like coke, so what is the safest way to get rid of the smell, and make sure still can be used to hold water for the tanks, or does it matter?

thanks all

mmmmmm huge Jack and Coke mmmmmmmmmm


oh I'm sorry....LOL......cleaning it........LOL not to sure but would make one heck of a drink

[GaryP]

Rinse it out with diluted chlorox. Rinse it out real good afterwards and dump a bottle of dechlor in it, fill it up, allow it to drain, and then let it sit out in the sun to dry. Sunlight will react with the chlorine and help to dechlor anything left in it.

Gary I have some similar with the aluminum cages. Mine are 300gal though. I use them for biodiesel. I have 2 or 3 extra. They had soap in them from what I was told. I am not to good on cleaning, so I just use them to store oil for my biodiesel. If you know anyone around my way that needs some sort of liquid storage let me know.

[GaryP]

So they smell like French Fries instead of Coke?

[Bug_Power]

well the ones I use will smell similar. If I can swing it, Thai places have the best. Hmmmmm eggrolls.

[seamonkey2]

ok Lonestar, so you will make one drink and call it the week eh?? LOL

thanks Gary, I'll give it a shot
