    Still haven't gotten around to getting a sump and it is coming to be the last piece I need before FINALLY getting the tank running. So... I am looking for a 50 or 100 gallon rubbermaid (or equivalent) stock tank. Doesn't need to be pretty, but if it is used I would need it it to preferably have been for a tank or food storage or something. Let me know what you got!

    Okay, it was $67, just didn't refresh....BUt hey, it is ten buck. Still I guess you could find a used one in someone bard for $30, but you will never know if was used for water, or mixing fretilizer...they probably won't recall either. Go with new on this one.

    That's unfortunate. Closest one is 2.5 hours away from me in Ames. Would waste the savings in gas LOL

    I have the 50 sitting on top of the 100. The 100 was used as a refugium and the the 50 on top of that was a frag tank. We can work something out on the 100 gallon if you want, shoot me a pm.
