yup just got a blue barrel that had wine vinegar in it, other than that its super clean and thick plastic, he says he gets 100's of them he sells them as rain barrels etc, he had about 10 left when i was there. 2-bucks a barrel, his house is literaly 1 block from east coast aquatics. if you stand on his lawn you can see it. anyway worth the ride, but east coast has nothing good in stock FYI

here is the guys craigslist site. They are all 55 gallon containers that had food products in them, his name is dave great guy. 20 bucks worth every penny. Blue ones had balsamic vinegar in them that washes out clean with tiny but water and baking soda = brand new, and they white ones had soy sauce in them, not sure how you would clean that but i dont think it would be hard,

happy reefing
