Ace Roto-Mold Container

[magnetar68]

I am looking into a continuous water change system and I am thinking about getting one of those Ace Roto-Nold containers. A 65 gallon container is ~$135 and shipping is close to $60, so that almost $200. I have two brute trashcans (32gal) now, so I would use those for a start, but with a larger container I could increase my time between making water batches but the water would sit for several weeks at a time, so thought a more airtight container may be best. Any thought?

Also, is there any place locally that sells these containers or similar in order to avoid the large shipping fee?

You could try Harrington Industrial Plastics. They have a couple of locations all over the bay area.

You can get one of the 18"x5ft tall 100 gal ones for not too much more than $200 I think. Try tank depot online

Looks like Rural King is the cheapest option. A 75 gallon including shipping is $132. A 100 gallon is $180 with shipping. The other places have shipping fees that are as much as the tanks. I did find the 75 gallon with free shipping on Plastic mart.com, but it was still $217, so Rural King is much cheaper.

Actually, Rural King has free shipping for larger orders, so I got a 100 gallon ace rotomold tank for $143 shipped.
