when ever i buy live rock i just put in the little rubbermaid's that are 5 bucks .... the only thing is don't pull from the handle they rip off real easy lol they will hold an easy 100 pounds

well i have about 125lbs of live rock with lots of corals and five fish. in my room they are going to re-do the wood floors and put tecture and re-paint the walls, so the stuff is going to be in the tube for a while.

Check/call feed stores or a local Tractor Supply.

A 50 gallon Rubbermaid brand stock tank is $68

And a 100g is only $75

I'd opt for the 100g only for the fact you can store your rock and corals easier. The 50g is pretty shallow and you will have a hard time keeping most of your rock submerged. The 100g is a lot taller and you can always keep the rock on the bottom, then throw eggcrate ontop for your corals. And of course, you do not have to fill it all the way up!
