borrow/buy rubbermaid trough

[Sparkss]

Ok, I know that this has been asked a dozen times, but where in our area is there anyplace to pick up a 150 or 300g rubbermaid trough ? Or does someone have one that we can borrow for about a month ? In a nutshell we are just looking for a place to house our LS until the new setup is ready for it to be moved over. The Brute cans are going to be too tall I think to be able to do what we will need, but the troughs are long and wide enough so get the sand into one (or 2) and not have majorly anaerobis areas (especially if we can employ a reverse undergravel setup).

Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Tom, I have a 50G glass tank you can use to store the sand. It's 48" long. LMK if you want it.

I may have one in Oakland that you can borrow Tom. I'll call him today and ask

FWIW, it's a 300g one

I have a 300 gal rubbermaid in my back yard.

Thanx Elite, but I think we need something a bit bigger as it is literally 60 gallons of sand (12 5 gallon buckets that were pretty full of sand).

Gresh and Qwiv, please let me know if/when I can pick up as I have today and tomorrow off from work and can shoot out to pick up. Or if that doesn't fit your schedule, would sometime Saturday work ? Shoot me a PM if you both would with schedules and availabilities

P.S. If requested/required I would be willing to pay a "rental fee" on the loaner, just let us know.. I only want to be fair, and really appreciate your offers to help
