Best NSW change tote.

[elhewman]

I am looking for ideas on getting a 45-60 gallon tote that is durable enough for constant use. I fear the rubbermaid totes would not stand the test of time(I read bad reviews). I plan on using the tote for Natural Salt Water changes.

Thanks

How about a marine holding tank? I know if you're out on a sail boat, you have a large plastic reservoir (built inside the boat) that will fill with fresh water for the sink, etc. I think those are about the right size. Probably expensive though. Let me see what I can find on google....

a 60 gallon runs about $275 on the site above.

If I have any other idea I'll let you know. That should definately cover the durability issue, but the price tag kind of sucks

Good thought I might see if I can find one used. I see some here and there in my town. Though in time, I think a new one will be worth the invesement. I only live about 1/2 mile from reachable salt water so a durable container motivates me to continue frequent saltwater changes.Thanks!

I bet you could get one from the junkyard that was used for RV fresh water, and it would be cheap.

Here's the link again if the one i posted didn't work. The site I posted earlier just cracks me up.

You have the 525 gallon size? wtf, thats insane. Is that a typo?

 

[fishoutofwater]

No. It's not a typo. I actually have 2 of them totaling 1050 gallons. O and also a 305 gallon in bed tank. Total of 1355 gallons.
