I'm also looking for one too Marty but I want a 70-80 gallon plastic bin if possible. Let me know if you find any locally.

I bought mine at Industrial Plastics. Food grade, 55g rigid blue drum with sealed, easily removable lid with a 2 1/2" and 3/4" bungs. Can be stood up vertical or mounted horizontally. It was $110, well worth it IMO... They had some different bigger ones as well...

When I was looking for barrells, I was shocked by the prices at IP and other industrial suppliers...then I went to the Otter Co-Op (you do not have to be a member to shop there) just off Fraser Highway in Langley to buy a 100 gallon RubberMaid sump...they had various drums and barrels for very low prices...as my car was loaded with the sump, I could not buy any barrels that day...when I went back, I stopped at another feed store just around the corner and bought a couple of 55 gallon drums for $10.00 each. I have been using them for a few months for FW top-off and SW mixing.

Cheers.

If you check out livestock feed stores and sometimes even Peavy Mart will have the larger tanks and barrels.
