water tanks ... looking for info from a previous post.

AC_Rhino · 09/15/2017, 08:17 PM

I saw a post a few weeks ago ... this guy was posting pics of his huge aquarium that was built into a wall and he was talking about how he did it. One of the things in the post was a website to a company that sold plastic containers (up to thousands of gallons) that he used to mix saline ... i believe he had a 750 gallon one. I think the dude was a mod or something ... but I can't for the life of me find it again with this god awful search engine. Can you guys help me out?

Craigslist has them all the time near me. Pennies on the $ compared to new.

What are they officially called if I look on CL? Is there a name for them besides just calling them plastic jugs?

Thanks guys

Mine are utility tanks. If you do get them on CL, just be careful about what has been in them before. I don't know how much some things may absorb into them, and that is why I chose to buy new. I figured better safe than sorry.
