I was looking on the internet for a rummbermaid containor and i found one that was black and at the bottom looked like it was drilled. Do they make rubbermaid drilled or did the person do it. Is there a link i looked at the picture and it said it was used as a kio pond but it was in spainish i think, and that was all i could read. thanks for any help Puffer21

Rubbermaid makes large stock tanks from about 30 gallon and up. They have a threaded bulkhead in them that can be used for draining and cleaning.

Yes, they're commonly sold as water troughs for large animals (horses, etc). Feed supply places tend to have them in stock. For the size you get, they're very durable and inexpensive.

ok thanks. i was looking for something to put my turtle in i wanted to make a turtle pen. And i saw that picture and it looked great mainly since it would be easy to drain and clean.

Also there are a few threads were people used them for sumps on large systems.
