I've been seeing everybody with these big 100gallon tanks and i feel bad cuz my 2 res are stuck in a lil 20gallon ._.;; i was wonder if anybody knows or is selling or maybe a good place to find a 100 or 120 gallon tank. any help would be good. im kinda low on cash right now and trying to find a job...so yeah..hopefully ill have enough money to get one soon.

There is a cheap alternative, familiar with rubbermaid container's? Like the big plastic container's that people use to store laundry, toy's etc? They make them up to 50 gallon's, and guess what? They cost about 10$ at any Kmart/Target.

I dont know realy, but i do know that few people on this forum use them, so you might want to wait until they come into the topic.

You can get the Rubbermaid stock tanks at any agricultural supply store. Check your Yellow Pages for a local one, since shipping is very expensive. Most grain & feed supply stores can usually order one for you.

I think I posted on one of your threads before about the black plastic ponds at Lowes. I got a huge one (100 gal, but it's over 6ft long and over 4ft wide) for $69. They have other ones that are like 60 gallons for less.

go to www.froogle.com and run a search for rubbermaid poly tank and you will come up with some good ideas on where to get stock tanks
