I have one, and it is very easy to work with, holds tons of water + the material is easily drilled and is very durable

Where did you get yours at ?? About how much water do they hold ?? What are the dimensions ??

asnatlas,
They hold about 200 gallons of water.
I bought mine from a comapny on the west coast, I can't remember it right now, but have the receipt in a file at my office.

When I go into my office on monday, do you want me to get the web address for you?

bstone, that last link was for non-food grade.For ur purposes I think we need food grade. This is what the local fishermen use all the time. I wonder if i could pick one up from one of them cheap.

Check out the 2nd section, the Titan II, those show they are FDA approved, which should be food-grade.

got it...just a little retardation on my part.

I got the Titan I. I really don't think it matters. People use Rubbermaid tubs and they aren't food grade, or FDA approved..

 

[jnarowe]

good point.

 

[moumda]

Rubbermaid brute containers are food grade containers. Roughnecks are not.

True, but I really don't think it matters. Its not like the plastic will leach something out that is poison. The FDA on plastic might have to do with other factors.. I know a LFS that has been using these Titan I's for years.

some rubber maid plastics are anti fungal.

 

[asnatlas]

Any updates ??

 

[tom obrecht]

Yes...more pic's!! Great project and thread!!

I did loose sps and lps to roughneck containers. Went to brute containers and everything has recovered nicely.
