Some of you might remember that we used some 55G food grade plastic barrels to mix and store water for the new aquarium in the Chili's Care Center. Well, we're done with the barrels and I need to get them out of here.
I'm only asking $10 per barrel (money will be used to get fish and corals for St Jude)
You will have to arrange pick-up since I don't have a truck. Each barrel comes with its two screw in stoppers.

These are great for storing water for your tanks. I'm going to take two and use one for RO/DI and the other for Salt mixing.

This link gives you an idea of what I'm going to do.
Basically, both barrels go against the wall and about 2' off the ground in the garage. plumb them together at the top (pop a hole in the side so they overflow into the other) and bulkhead them at the bottom for dispensing water. Fix my RO/DI to the waterheater and pop a floatvalve in one tank. One tank will fill to the "spillway" and then fill the other. Close the connecting line with a ballvalve and now I have 55G of RO/DI and the other for 55G SW. Then just attach a hose for filling my sump and waterchanges will now take up no room at all!
 
How many do you have left? I will take some as long as I can pick them up the day of the meeting.
Let me know..i may want several

Ok i will take 4 off your hands. Is it okay if I bring the money and pick them up the day of the next meeting on the 17th?
