Has anyone ever used these barrels?
I bought 2 today and I de-greased and pressure washed the crap out of them after using my cleaner.
Still smells little like olives but I am assuming since it was just food in there I shouldnt have any issues. I have started filling the one with my RO/DI unit.

I've been using them for years. I just rinsed mine out with a hose, wiped out with a towel and filled it up haha

I just did a mild bleach spray on them as well to clean even more. I noticed there was a slight oil look to top of water in the barrel I started filling. I am sure just left over from the olive but now after the mild bleach and heavy rinse they smell pretty much olive free.

Hybrid, do you still sell frags?
I bought some off you like 4years ago with my old tank. Was going to finally fill this tank after we got home from Disney at the end of the month and let it do its thing for a month. Probably hit you up around June when the tank is ready for some frags if you are selling any.
