water storage tank suggestions

[sullyfish]

I am on a budget and looking for water storage tanks (2) for my 180 build. I have looked at Menards and Tractor Supply but they want $100 for each. I was hoping to find some cheaper ones that will be reef safe. I am looking for ones that are around 50 gals in size, approx 3 ft high, 2 ft wide give or take

Any suggestions are welcome. I am flexible on the size, Just wondering if someone out there has found a deal that works well and cheaper then $200

Try 44 Gal. Rubbermaid Brute containers.I bought mine at Lowes,I think they are about $50.00.

search your local Craigslist for "Rain Barrel." You can 55 gallon, food safe HDPE barrels for around $20.
