Im nearly finished with my entire grow room after so many painstaking set backs.. and now! after i am almost done. my 54 gallon rubbermaid container isnt large enough for my flood table! i need something bigger, preferably 60 gallons?

does anyone know where i can find something like this?

my last option is to try to build some but i rather just find something :[

I would suggest a 61 gallon solution:eyesmoke:

lol! After 4 bong hits i was drawing schematics to create a water holding tank under my house that would feed water up to my grow room. My high calculations told me i needed exactly 82 gallons....not sure how the hell i came up with 82 gallons but there is a bunch of stuff scribbled on several papers on my night table..lol
 
If you are willing to sacrifice a little space, perhaps you could decrease the volume of space in your tray by 6 gallons?
Maybe lay some bricks in it or 1 quart weighted/capped plastic jugs on their sides, or optimally lay a 4x4 pvc fence post capped at both ends in there.

just a thought! :)

omg! your a genius, i seriously didnt think about filling the empty space in the table with stuff to reduce the water. i have just the thing.. i am going to cut pvc pipes to size and top the ends and put them between each bucket as its the only place with space to spare. it should reduce the water by a lot.

thank you very much!
 
ever consider getting something a little tougher than a tote...???

rubbermaid makes these stock tanks in 15g to 500g...

Last res you will ever buy...

I have 2x 100 gal. and would not switch for anything.. I love them...

I was looking on their site but i didnt see anything like this? what are they called ?
 
They are called stock tanks...

You will not find them in the regular rubbermaid site, it's an industrial product..

You will find them at your local feed store... you know, farm animal equipment shops...

Just ask for a x gal stock tank... maybe get the phone book out and make a few calls...

Not exactly cheap... I paid $130 for my 100 gal... but it is most definitely the last res I ever buy.. that thing will be around for thousands of years
 
These are the shit. Ace hardware online keeps them. Tractor supply(or whatever it's called). I used a 150gallon back in the day and payed $80 new. It truly will be the last. My ex sold it with my lights and everything else that I owned. They are stock tanks and not flexible. You can flip it over and stand on it. Even if you weight 250#.
