Tomato bins

Sorry Ted, I have been looking for them for a while as well and they dont seem to come around easy.
 
Tomato bins are about 220g in size. I think they are made of polypropelene. They are food safe (tomatoes are shipped in them), rigid containers that wholesalers and some retailers use to hold aquarium stock, etc.

I want to use one as a sump and one as a refugium on my system.
 
The “common” name in the industry is MacroBin, which is derived from the primary producer MacroPlastics. Add a dot com at the end of their name and you can see what the make. Unfortunately, off the top of my head I don’t know where you’d round one up.

The bins are in the lower left corner and on the right side (2nd from bottom) of this picture.

Not sure what it's called but I have a grey and a white one. The white I think is food safe and the grey isn't. Also if you go with these you should give it some extra support on the underside with some wooden blocks.

Here's a pic of the white one a few months back being used for storage. :lol:

You'll notice that the layout of support is not the same as the picture I linked. But it is their product since their name is molded into the bin.

Ted Seascapes has 2 of them in the bathroom, I think the new owner wants to get rid of them. Theyre drilled for bulkheads already (some in strange places I believe..) swing by and talk to Young. (good luck!)
 
Ted, if you decide to get one that is out this way (Carson or Fullerton) I can pick them up for you and bring them to a meeting if you need me to.
