Matt,

I have a 40 gallon acrylic tank I am breaking down you could borrow as well as that 55 gallon trash can I use to mix water. The acrylic tank is a wierd tank, two 20 L's on their side connected by tubes, but it is light and easy to move. Let me know and I will finish up breaking it down tonight.

If you are out to 1/2", you are not too far from the breakpoint of the tank.
