Moving my tank today, IDEAS NEEDED!

[Jarob]

Alright well I moved over the weekend and the only thing left is my tank. Im in the market for a new tank right now so I would hate to set up my old one again after taking it down...

Could I use a blue plastic baby pool as a temp holding tank for a week or two while im getting my new tank, or a rubbermaid tub from lowes? What are some other ideas for a temp tank? Let me know asap as I plan on taking this on tonight.. I can use my same lighting and Ive got some pumps already for the flow..

Thanks!

Jarob how big is your current tank?
I have most of my 125g in a 100g stock tank right now and that is working out great. I think they run around $70 at Tractor SUpply

About 50g total volume right now!! Im hoping to upgrade to a larger tank, so more volume would be nice so I can add more water over the course of the few weeks..

here are pictures of the rubbermaid stock tanks:

they come in many sizes and have a drain on the bottom

Expensive!!! That 40g oval might be alright for now if I can find it local..

I started out looking at BRUTE trash cans first and they run about $1 per gallon so $70 for 100 gal sounded cheap after that. lol

I have a rubbermaid tub I used to hold my stuff for a week it holds about 30-40 gallons, a couple other members have used it for same thing pm if intrested u can use for how ever long u need it. it's about 48 inches long.
