@Weasel1960 looks like this tank company has a plant/shipping point in Iowa and Illinois. Maybe you can save some money on shipping by taking a day trip if they allow customer pickup

@Weasel1960 I got the tanks from here. The tank itself is not too expensive but the shipping is. It took me a while to just think of the entire price rather than thinking about how expensive the shipping is.

Thanks for the info. Yes shipping is crazy on these and for some reason higher to a residential address over a commercial address. This company sells through a local farm implement store so maybe can get them to order it with other stock.

Thanks for the added info will definitely look into that angle.

Sigh. I thought the bad stuff went out with 2020. I’m guessing this is from a bottom seal. There is a local Reefer selling a used 90 Gal ELOS for $450 (pick up this weekend) or just go with my 180 gal tank now for $3500 (not sure if in stock and have to custom make)?

So I think I found the leak and might have fixed it. Looks like it was coming from the overflow box. I had changed the seal configuration due to a recommendation from some here in the forums. Well, it didn’t work and was dripping ever but slowly. I redid it with a new seal and it seems good so far.
