Want to borrow water storage vessel - also, freaky Amazon story

[der_wille_zur_macht]

So it looks like I'll be needing to do a very large water change (probably 150+ gallons) in the next week and I only have capacity for maybe 100 gallons of water storage to make up the new water. I might just buy another Brute trashcan or two but figured I'd ask if anyone in 'cuse has a large container (maybe one of those Rubbermaid troughs) laying around I could borrow for a few days.

Also, my spare heater kicked the bucket last week so I had it in the back of my mind that I need to buy another heater. I wake up this morning, check my email, and there in my inbox is one of those "Hey you might be interested in this" emails from Amazon. The item in question was an aquarium heater. :lol:

I had one heater kick the bucket a few weeks ago, ended up getting one on Amazon with prime because of the price and turn around. Second one kicked the bucket yesterday, and today amazon sends me the link to review my purchased heater. It was a reminder I need to order another.
Why do heaters suck...
Back to your question, I remember someone here posted a Rubbermaid container recently. Maybe they will chime in if its available.

Sorry, sold. Being picked up in about 10 minutes...

Yeah, I saw josh's thread but rochacha is too far. At that point I'd save the gas/toll/4 hours and just buy brutes locally. The kid's bathroom is RIGHT next to my tank. Maybe I can mix the new water in the bathtub.

The amazon emails can be hilarious at times. A friend of mine bought a wireless router and it suggested that she might also be interested in a hamburger press.

Nate, you are welcome to borrow a full size blue plastic barrel that's been sitting in our hay loft. It even has a cover. It just needs to be cleaned.

 

[der_wille_zur_macht]

Awesome, thanks. I'll let you know if/when I need it.

I'm guessing it's 55g? That should be just about right.

 

[windyridge]

yes think so

 

[pascal32]

I have. 4x2x2 Rubbermaid you can borrow. 100 gallons

I've got a 100 gallon rubbermaid bin laying around from when Jesse and I moved our tanks and needed to store the fish and corals for awhile. I have no use for it and no where to store it. It's sitting on my balcony right now, and I keep hoping it won't blow away. lol. I'm looking to get rid of it. You can have it for $20, or maybe we can work out a trade for a frag or two. Let me know if you're interested. :spin3: I'm located right in the middle of Syracuse and will be around all weekend.

She beat me to it! Yeah man, $20 or a cool frag, take it off my hands. Had some interest before but no follow through. If we can work out a time I will even deliver it
