Looking for water storage tanks

[P.Kelly]

Does anyone know where I can locally acquire a horizontal water storage tank or two? I'd like to get two tanks in the 50-90 gallon range. that can be placed flat on a stand, one above the other (so they have to be longer and wider, rather than taller). Translucent is important too, as I want to be able to see the water level through the material.

Something like this would work.

Pete - have you tried Tractor Supply Co. I don't know if they have that one, but I remember them having similar stuff.

I personally think they are pretty expensive , but maybe they have somthing cheaper.

No, but I'll call them. I want to avoid shipping if possible, which is why I'd like to buy locally.

Welcome back Peter

You might also ask John where he got his from. I picked up a 300 gallon from him.

Thanks for the tip, will do. I missed him on Sunday, but I didn't know he was out with his newborn, and it was Mother's Day. Sure beats being at the store. Darcy and I were there looking for Mother's Day fish.

Pete, I thought you were breaking down your tank. Got something else in the works?

TSC in Yuba City has them. Me and John ordered from the same place but I can't recall the name. The large ones 200-300g were actually shipper after freight than any where local.

Called them. Drums only, which is also reflected on their website. Bummer.

Hmmm... The 65 gallon units are 189 at TSC. Seems a little pricey, given the alternative of drums (which aren't translucent). I was hoping for no more than $100 a piece.

LOL my thread should have said "cheaper" after shipping than they were locally. I will try and dig up the name

 

[P.Kelly]

Any other leads on containers?

How far are you willing to drive? There is this place in Stockton called Big W Sales. http://www.bigwsales.com. I have a few customers who buy spray equipment from them.

Thanks for the heads up. I spoke with Eddie, and their prices are a little better.

Good. BTW, I'll probably give you a call between 6:30-7 to come get that pipe, if that's alright?

Tractor supply be my bet as well I doubt the 300g one i have at my buddies would work-)

Pete I'm extremally surprised to see you on here since last time I saw you you were wearing your special RC shirt

You could try Ryan Herco, Pete. That's where I bought my 250G container, but my guess is that they would be a little pricey.
