Where to get 50-100gal Water Jugs for Cheap?

[ghever]

Hi Guys

Was wondering if you knew where I could find some 50-100 gal water drums/containers for cheap in So Cal area?

I need 2 of them...one to hold RODI water, and the other to hold saltwater..... they will be used to do water changes and top off for my new tank project.

thanks
G

For long term storage you want to have a drum designed to hold liquids. A trach can will not last with time, and eventually you will have 50 gallons flooding your garage

big rubbermaid stock tanks work great for holding water.

usually sold where you can buy feeding material for large animals like horses.

I can't find the stock tanks where i live though =(

Vertical storage is important since it saves on space. But these are damn expensive...so hoping to find some cheaper ones.

you might want to check with golfish. He was giving away some 30's and 50/60g containers a few months back see if he has any left. They work perfect for that. I have one that I bought from Reefmiester2 and got a 30 for golfish.

they have them at the koi place on bolsa and westminster for 15 bucks. they are 55 gallons and blue. not the cleanest things but works well.
