Plastic Reservoirs Local?

[Dustin1300]

I just posted a thread in DIY section:

"I've lost a link to a reservoir I was planning on using...This being said, I'm looking for some good food grade cylinder containers to store water. I have two 44 gallon Brutes but think I could make better use of space with a container designed to hold water.

I'd like to have four tanks ideally; 1) NSW @ 1.025 of 160+ Gallons, 2) RO/DI of ~50 Gallons, 3) Lime Water of ~50 gallons, and 4) NSW @ 1.009 for QT system of ~30 gallons.

Best product/price factor is what I'm looking for. Hopefully they won't KILL me on shipping! Thanks in advance for recommendations!"

Anyone know of anywhere locally that I could get these from? I'd think I could save a lot of money on shipping if I could find anywhere reasonably close!

Ive found one of those white plastic barrels on craigslist a guy in danville sells them cheap i think i paid 10$ all i had to do was rinsed it really good a few times and ready.
I know it might be a long drive for you

Browsing CL to see what I can find around but Danville is ~45 minutes away so that would easily be worth the gas if I could save a descent amount on shipping. You happen to remember if he had anything other than just large plastic barrels? I thought about putting a barrel outside in corner and hiding behind shrubbery but not sure about the winter months...You think a heater and some flow would prevent it from freezing?

If anyone has any other suggestions let me know of some other local options.

Exactly what I'm looking to do. Depending on what size barrels I can get I'll be drawing up design for the system I'll be building out.
