Needed - Holding tub approx 30+gal

[Easily Distracted]

Well I'm just about ready to break down the old system and swap in the new one I've been building on the side. I need a fiberglass tub or something similar I can keep everything in during the swap. I was considering a large Coleman type cooler, also.
Does anyone have something I could either borrow for 2-3 weeks or buy cheaply?

Thanks -John

if u can't find a loaner, u could always pickup a 37g grey rubbermaid tub from HD for about $11.

I'm nervous about using anything not rated for food. Any chance these are?

i've seen many posts here on RC where people are using them as sumps - long term.

if you don't mind spending 20 bucks, they sell 20g brutes that are definitely food safe. they have an NSF cert on the bottom. just have to give it a good hot rinse. they should also have 30+ and 40+ gallon versions.

hope things work out for ya.

That sounds more like what I want. Thanks. I'll go looking for one this week.

i have a 29 gall tank i'm not using.

Thanks, Tom.

I have a 29 myself. I have limited space and expect to have to slide it on the floor a couple of times as I work on the new set up. I figure a tub or cooler with handles would be easiest.

BTW- Do you have any astrae snails?

 

[fishome25]

nope sorry, out of the snail business, haha

Oh, yeah. I just went to your site. I've been out of the loop for a while.
