I wanted to know if anyone knew of a food grade tupperware to make a sump out of. I want something with about 30 or 50 gallons. I don't want to spend alot of money on a stock tank. They run like $70 dollars for a 50 gallon or somethin like that.
Thanks

I bought 2 37 gallon rubbermaid tubs at home depot, each $15. with lids and thickish walls without any holes in the grab handles. The 2 ends have flattened sections where a bulkhead can be placed. All rubbermaid is food grade.

Keep any eye on craigslist and you should be able to pick up a used aquarium 30-55 for pretty cheap as well. Or if you catch the petco dollar a gallon sale. It usually happens in the summer. good luck
