100 gallon stock tank.

[MichaelB]

The club was generously donated a 100gallon stock tank by @MarcosD several months back. We are currently unable to add items to barcode so it hasn't been made available to request as of yet.

I have also added in a eshopps S-300 Cone skimmer rated for up to 150-300 gallons depending on bioload to go with it.

This is a great item for the club to have around for someone moving/breaking down a tank, tragedy hits and a tank fails, or simply your wanting to cure lots of rocks.

***Being that this is intended to be shared around the club please don't consider using this to qt fish with any medications.***


Below I will start a thread to keep track of it until we can get it into barcode.

Today the Stock tank and Skimmer was loaned out to @blink for curing rocks.

Whats the loan time frame for something like this?

Whats the loan time frame for something like this?

I'm not sure honestly what seems appropriate maybe 30-60 days ?

Some situations it may only be needed for a few days others may need a few weeks.

It's also not meant to become a permanent tank. While the time frame for other equipment isn't really feasible with something like this. Any thoughts?

I don’t have the need for one but my two cents. I think these tubs are a great idea for the club since many people can’t store, or buy them. New tanks needing live rock seems to be common, and accidents do happen, so as a club this sort of item makes sense as a barcode item.
Maybe someone can reach out to members and create a list of people that happen have tubs and are willing to share? That list could be the “emergency call” list, and then this tub could be loaned out with a longer timeline in case the person intends to cure rock. Or maybe life happens and they lose a week so it gives people a little buffer time?

We definitely have a few members that have even larger ones that I'm aware of. This one is farely large though it can likey fit in most houses/apartments worse case though awkwardly. The larger ones take up even more space to the point someone needs a garage or outdoor space. We have a old thread somewhere with emergency equipment somewhere I recall. Maybe I'll try to search for it when I have time and bring it back to life.
