Title: Where to buy water storage containers?
Post by: reefdava16 on August 13, 2010, 07:52:30 PM
Im looking to get a water storage container approximately 25g-50g similar to this:

I need it to be translucent, so i can see the water level. I am also looking for them to have built in bulk heads. I currently use 2 20g rubber maids but would like to change.

just drive south on Bank street and they will be on your left, we bought a few from that place used to be some kind of flea market before. thay are food grade and perfectly safe after you wash them with soap few times.

they are food grade at cohens.  I used them for a DIY pond filter.  They were clean looking when I bought them.
