Tupperware or Rubbermaid tubs?

Lowes or home depot should have everything you need

loews and home depot do not have food grade plastic. you can try usplastic.com or a local garden center may carry something you can use

Any type of farm supply store would have it. I go to tractor supply for tubs

is there a reason you want a plastic sump? I think petco is still doing the $1 per gallon sale on everything from 10g-55g so a 20g long would be $20 or a 40g breeder for $40 and hold about the same or more than a plastic tote and for allot longer

The container store might have what you need.

don't go to petco & get a 40b for a sump I did & now it is a freshwater planted aquarium!! just too nice to be a sump now gonna get a plastic tub so I won't be tempted again

Cant get any tanks from petco cause my stand is to ab all for every tank i need a rubbermaid container or something to make a sump itll fit perfect under my stand

why do you need food grade. the only difference is food grade cant allow oxygen to transfer into whatever you store in it, thus ruining the food inside.
i know this because i make wine and have to use either glass or food grade plastics for fermentation and even then only acidic foods will cause it to leech oxygen. just my opinion. i store and mix water in $6 tubs from the dollar store never had a problem. if you want strength try tsc or a farm supply of some kind
