Found a nice sump for my 500.

Stumbled across it this morning.Had a leak in my 120 fowlr last night and needed a holding tank fast.The dimensions are what set it apart from the rubbermaid stock tanks.The build quality is just as nice,and includes an aluminum 1 1/4" hole on the end ,as opposed to the side like the rubbermaid's.Figured i would pass this on just in case someone would like an alternate size.

Dimensions are 72"x30"x24" 150 gallons

Heres a link to their website.Pricing is similar to rubbermaid's.

And pics of it setup this morning.....Excuse the mess behind it, it's been an eventfull morning discovering the leak,the frantic drive to the farm store and transfering all my livestock over.

Looks like a great tank and sorry about the leak! One other thing, will that aluminum rust in saltwater? some grades oxidize very quickly.

Good question,and im not sure what the answer will be.Im not sure the saltwater actually contacts the aluminum or not.The cap is plastic and threads all the way into the tank,i used teflon tape and the teflon paste so only time will tell i guess.
