ReeFit Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 there is a company that sells them on craigslist anywhere from $10 -$25. I see there ads on there all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 he is out in beaverton. I bought two off them from him. he has tons for sale for $15 each. All food grade. I would suggest getting the white so you can see the water levels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 On Columbia Drive is a place that sells white ones. They have had distilled vinegar in them, not syrup. Much easier to clean. I will see if i can find out the name of the place Here is one on Holgate: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/for/1868476398.html another one in NE http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/grd/1871952633.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I bought from the guy off of Holgate, but it was not 25 for a 55 gallon it was 25.00 for a 35 gallon- Bait and switch-(laugh) Funny dude thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I got 2 from the place that Reefit suggested. They had syrup (apple) in them. I soaked with oxy clean and warm water, rinsed them well and the smell was (almost) gone. It takes some time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be much easier to clean and wouldn't harm my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hey Finch if you are interested I have a 55 gallon drum that came with the 150 gallon glass set up we got. We got 3 total. The top doesn't open up completely it has 2 -3 inch openings. You can have one for 30 dollars. They were using it to store saltwater and you wouldn't have to clean it.
