Does anyone have any sites online (or local places in Orlando, FL) that sell 100g plastic drums? I'm looking to putone in my garage and hook my [acronym:8ff4704e72="Reverse osmosis"]RO[/acronym:8ff4704e72] unit up to it so I can have 80 or so gallons on hand for [acronym:8ff4704e72="Wild Caught"]WC[/acronym:8ff4704e72]'s and other small needs for my tank. I think Brendon had one, but not too sure where he got it from.

Anyhow, [acronym:8ff4704e72="Thanks in Advance"]TIA[/acronym:8ff4704e72] and hope someone can refer a good place.

I got mine from a place in TX. I had looked at several local places like tractor supply. I liked the one in TX because it had a small footprint and was tall so it did not take up much room. With the shipping it actually came out to be the same price as local and I did not have to pay tax. Mine is 300 [acronym:4d2feb46ce="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:4d2feb46ce] but they have one that is 100 [acronym:4d2feb46ce="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:4d2feb46ce] (23" diameter by 63" tall) Best [acronym:4d2feb46ce="Saltwater"]SW[/acronym:4d2feb46ce] hobby investment I have made. I bought a 60 ft hose and put it on a mag 12. Now 200 gallon [acronym:4d2feb46ce="Wild Caught"]WC[/acronym:4d2feb46ce] are a snap. If you want me to look up phone number where I got it from PM me.

Try US Plastics. They have several different types, shapes, sizes.

my suggestion would be to check feed stores or even places like lowes/[acronym:4a4d367a8b="Home Depot"]HD[/acronym:4a4d367a8b]. Look for large Rubbermaid water troughs, seems they also refer to them as "stock tanks".
