Water Storage Containers

[dudemeister]

Anyone have a clue where to locally buy large food grade storage containers around here that aren't outrageously priced?

As you know, RJ and I took the plunge on the dual peristaltic pump which is great but it would be even greater if I could store more RO and salt mix. My plan is to go to Home Depot and get 2 44 gallon Roughnecks and Uniseal them to each other with some kind of circulating pump between them. Bigger is better in this case. I see some plastic 55 gallon food grade drums on ebay for $70 shipped which would be great but it would be a whole lot better if I could buy something locally and cheaper.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

thx
