Looking for ATO container

[Mr E Wrasse]

Hey guys, i'm looking for a clear storage container for holding top-off water. Something round, clear, and about 75 gallons. I've seen round ones that have space at the bottom to install plumbing but can't find one. I'm going to build a stand for it so i can use a float valve in the sump and let gravity do all of the work. Anyone know a good place to shop for one? i've checked out tank-depot.com but i didn't find what i was looking for. Any help is always appreciated!

Find a juice factory near your town... We have one in Vegas and it's 20 bucks for used ones all day long for 55 gal plastic drums...;)

 

[Mr E Wrasse]

well that's for a 75 gal... but i'm thinking maybe a 50 or 55 will be fine... but the Norwesco brand seems to be the only one with a drain outlet and the shipping for them is $135 for a 55 or 75g.... still doing some more searching

Find a pickel barrel on Craigslist,, I paid $15 for a 60 gallon one.

i have a few here if you feel like making the trip
they are all 55g

 

[Mr E Wrasse]

i think this one might be the way to go... only $55 shipping and it has a flat spot at the bottom to hook up a drain
