125G tub

rnhrtfan · 07/20/2008, 08:08 AM

does anyone have a spare 125G rubbermaid tub laying around I could borrow just long enough to mix my saltwater for my new tank? Would like to mix it all in one container to get the salinity right and would like to have it mixed and ready to go so that when the tank is plumbed and ready I can just fill it with water and place the rock in it...which is already cured....

The 125 tubs are hard to come by. Why dont you just get three 40 gallons and fill them. You can pick them up at Walmart for like $10.00 to $15.00 a piece.

He's right, a tub that big is a challange. Get the smaller ones, save one for water changes, one for a sump, and I am sure you can find something to do with the third one. In the end, you will be glad you did it.
