Bevo5 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I’ve had it with my Rubbermaid and the seals leaking If I look at them funny. Anybody have two large (55+) storage tanks with built in spouts? I was going to just go buy two food safe barrels and drill in bulkheads but I’d prefer to find a couple already sealed up and working. thanks.

SuncrestReef Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 If you don’t find anyone here with tanks for sale, check out Green Concepts in Gresham. They have a huge selection.

Bevo5 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hey yup! That was the place I was thinking about going to! Probably easiest to just go out there tomorrow and pick 'em up. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailingeric Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I got a 65 gallon last year for my RO/DI water from Green Concepts. Got it with the bulkhead already in, a couple pieces of PVC, a ball valve and a 90 bend and I was in business! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrels with reverse thread bukheads say goodbye to leaks for good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great selection in many sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need any ideas for your mixing station, I posted a detailed parts list for mine: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/suncrestreefs-red-sea-reefer-xl-425-build.358990/post-6173194 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo5 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hey - yup! Went out to Gresham and left with two of the big blue barrels, drilled and bulkheads installed. He put the holes toward the bottom where there's a bit of an indention, but swore up and down they would hold water. I haven't filled them up yet but I got it all hooked up. Your build is pretty sick....looks great. Mine is basically the same layout, except I added spouts coming off each bucket so I can grab a quick 5g of fresh/salt if I need it. But it isn't exactly "pretty." Maybe one of these days I'll redo it. 2 hours ago, SuncrestReef said: Did you find some new containers?
