looking for 55 Gallon Plastic Drum

[psusocr]

I got one from a microbrewery. Might want to try at one of those near you.

Hopefully it was full of beer when you got it :frog:

There's a substance called (literally) anti-foam that may have caused this for me. Shouldn't have any problem with tomato sauce or beer. It's used in production processes to reduce foaming caused by the high flow rates through systems. Unfortunately, it is VERY difficult to clean out of these barrels, as it has great affinity to the plastic (hydrophobicity). The first barrel I used didn't have the substance I guess. Sorry about not pulling through, but I wouldn't feel right about giving out a barrel that could kill your skimmer.

Well since my barrels also seem to be the same thing, I'll have to pay attention to my skimmer when I use it. My plan is to rinse well with bleach and let sit over night, then rinse well. Tomorrow I will rince well with a bottle of muriatic acid and allow that to sit over night, then rinse well. Toss in a lil baking soda to neutralize any acid remaining and hope for no I'll effects
