    Looking for one of those study poly stock tanks for temporary and possibly permanent use.


    Found these online and they might have them at Ankeny Mills Fleet Farm


    http://www.fleetfarm.com/search/?q=poly+stock+tank&searchSubmit.x=0&searchSubmit.y=0


    ...but thought I had better check with anyone on here. There seems to be a couple different kinds / style of these (materials, not dimensions or volume) is there any one in particular that should not be used?


    Also, anyone have one of these for sale currently? Need to get it ASAP


    Thannks, Bud

    Looks like Grainger carries the Rubbermaid brand, does this matter?

    I called Freeland and they said they are the same structural foam as rubbermaid stock tanks so I might be making a trip to MFF to check them out

    I've used the farm and fleet black polly versions, and prefer them over rubbermaids because the shape is easier to work with.
