Here's a copy of what I posted in OMAS. Keep in mind you'd have to pick them up in Tulsa.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found a source for white plastic 55 gal drums. They're used by a local company then sent for recycling. I picked one up a couple days ago to see how well it would work & research the residuals.
I can buy what they have if I give them notice. $20 apiece, taking orders now.
Standard 55 gallon drum, heavy duty white plastic. Closed top with 2 large bung holes. They contained Potassium Hydroxide, which is safe (even used in some reef additives) although I'll be thoroughly cleaning mine out. New drums like this go for $70-80, used ones I've found for $50-60.
I'm going to buy at least one more, that way I can run my RO/DI to one and use another to keep NSW on hand.
I can snap a picture tonight. If I get enough people together I'll let them know I'm coming to pick up a load. I can't make it to Lee's house this month, but we can arrange a pickup site. Good opportunity for cheap water storage!
