Who is the manufacturer of those tanks?

Is it Buckhorn?

My guess is that they are material handling tubs from Carson Industries.

Check the sides. There may be a name and phone number molded into the side panel.

Any chance you could post or pm the price contact info for the person you got them from, if they still have more?

[reeflagoon]

yeah i could ask him he's a good friend of mine, he going to help me setup a green house this year for me. im looking to run 10 tanks at 1000 gallons each. i know he was asking $300 a tank.

[polywise]

I have two tanks identical to those that were made by Buckhorn. They are about $300/ea new, as posted above. I think you can also get them from Grainger and a few plastic tank dealers online. Mine shipped UPS freight for about $80.

Almost had my hands on one of those close to home here. They look great.

[1DeR9_3Hy]

What kind of macro is that?
