WTB: Small drilled tank for 'fuge/scrubber

[Doubledown]

I am looking for a small (10/15 gallon) tank to be used as an algae scrubber. I would prefer glass, but it must be drilled (2 holes would be best - one for a return and one for a drain), so acrylic would be fine as well.

This will sit over (actually on 2x4 rails setting across) my 75 gallon rubbermaid sump and the plan will be to feed it with a small submersible pump (mag 3 or 5) and just let it drain right back to the sump. Nothing too fancy and a little small for the total system volume (400 gallons), but with the trouble I have been having with hair algae any scrubber is better than none.

Any one have something like this or am I better off just using a heavy-duty rubbermaid container?

Thanks
Chris

I'll be around next weekend, Saturday is probably the best. The press and bits are at a buddy's house in Oak Lawn, but that shouldn't be a problem...

I have a drilled tank ,from a petco display. ~15 gallons with 2 holes drilled.

Those are another thought, you can get them for $5.00 each from Petco. Only thing you don't know is if they've been copper treated or not....

Not willing to risk the copper chance. Thanks though Masson.

RandalB, I shot you a PM with my cell #. Let's talk about next weekend - I have to check with the taskmaster to see what I have going on (we are remodling the kitchen), but since you are offering I'll fit to your schedule.

Thanks,
Chris
