I don't have an extra and you're probably too far to get one from Mal so I would recommend you try craiglist if you haven't already. I have 2, one I got from craigslist, the other from Mal. Just make sure you know what was in it before..it needs to be food, not chemicals.

You can also buy them new (although pricey) from US Plastics.

Are you going to go to the next frag swap (and able to wait that long)? I can get them from work but I'm in Nazareth. They are from a Coca Cola plant and have had syrup in them. I haven't had any problems with the ones I use.

 

[insanefishguy]

How much are they? I'd love to get my hands on one or two. I could come get them from you

I need another one. Joe, if you get two I want one also.

Anyone have a 200 gallon food grade drum?

 

[Fins125]

I have a few 55 gallon food grade drums available.

[insanefishguy]

Slipknot would obviously get first dibs, but I am also interested. Where are you?

 

[insanefishguy]

Found some from someone just up the street from me (thanks to Brandon)

 

[PAStreetGlide]

Those drums couldnt get much closer to your house, Joe.

Sorry guys, I've been busy with power outages and a move to the basement for the sump. I started noticing the lack of skimmer efficiency when I started using a new barrel that was needed for the move. I've attributed this to something in the barrel that may have been part of what was in it. I guess I would advise to not use a used barrel at this point, unless there's a good way to clean it completely.

 

[insanefishguy]

Were your barrels the white barrels that coke uses for the coloring?

 

[insanefishguy]

These are what I just got

 

[jjk82901]

Just like those. It's concentrate for the various syrups.

 

[insanefishguy]

Hmmm.... Maybe I'll wash em out good with muriatic acid. That should clean it up good

The ones I use had tomato sauce in them. I'm not sure that would be an issue.

Italian fish would love those barrels.. BAd joke? :hammer::uhoh3::fun2:

On a side note just wash them out with some vinegar and warm water of even use some bleach and let them dry good... It should do the trick.
