I don't know what they had but you can get food grade plastic barrels at Cohen & Cohen.

They used to use them for pond plants, made of really thick rubbery plastic

Critter Jungle, La Niche - any store that orders from hagen, just give them PT-795 as the item #.

I believe they are in the $60 - $80 range.

You might also consider the wine making bins.  There is a place on sommerset that has some big bins in different sizes that might also work(although I think all of them are round).

Hiya,

I was looking for something very similar recently, and the nicest-quality plastic tanks I could find are the Rubbermaid Stock Tanks, available in a few different sizes, and they are EXTREMELY durable (Made for horses and cows kicking it around)

They also come with a pre-drilled drain on the bottom wall, which is a nice feature.

Here are the different sizes available:

You can buy them at Ritchie's (I know for a fact that the Ritchie's on Innes road carries the 100gal in stock)
