Where can I find those square plastic container/bins?

[Beefy_Reefy]

The big square ones people/local fish stores use for curing rock or use as a sump. Is there a feed store that has them? Or does someone know who makes them so I can google it.
thx

Rubbermaid Stock Tanks is what you're looking for & Feedstores (farming and aquaculture stores too) is where you find them

I'm looking for the square bin/crate/container. Not the rounded stock tanks.

Stock tanks can also be square.

 

[Beefy_Reefy]

Hmm okay. I'll try the feeder stores. I know aquarius uses one and I think AA uses them for their live rock.
Thx.

Hmm.. I know the big box you are talking about. Just call Carlos - if he knows he will tell you.

 

[tatuaje08]

I believe he got it used from a local reefer.

I looked all over for them a while back. They're a couple hundred bucks.. and used in agriculture for holding fruit etc.

Look up hydroponic stores for overflow tables

No. I'll go take a picture tomorrow at store since I can't find a google pic...

I think that you're talking about the ribbed containers that are made from structural foam. Like these:

Ding ding ding! Exactly what I'm looking for. Aquarius was closed so couldn't go take picture. I wasn't sure if they were grey or black. But that looks white. Any idea if any stores sell them locally??

thx for the find!

 

[zrogst]

Check the local phoenix Hydroponics suppliers?

 

[brian cummings]

I have seen them in black, grey, blue, and white. Conceivably they could be any color I guess. I just know that they're high density polyethylene, made with a process called structural foam molding.

You can search for either HDPE bulk container, or structural foam bulk container. They're sold by Grainger (don't know if the local Grainger has in stock, they're probably drop shipped from the manufacturer) or U.S. Plastic Corp. One of the manufacturers, Buckhorn, calls them "agricultural boxes".

If there is a local source, I'd be interested to know too.

They are hard to find here in Az. , And expensive if you do find them. I sold Carlos 2 of them he might have the other one still, I know he was trying to sell it a few months ago . If you need to borrow one I still have a couple of the 4x4 ones and a one of the 4x2 ones or I have a 150 gallon Rubbermaid one I would sell for $60

Thanks Brian. Ill look into it.

Hey Nick. I knew I should have bought one at the azseabottom sale... I want one of the 4x4 boxes. Let me know if you ever want to sell one. Ill try Carlos Wednesday. Thanks for offer on loaning me one but I'd like to purchase.
