They have them at HD on macleod trail across from chinook. They even have a new square style one on wheels. Didn't check how many gallons it was but it was big!

Personally, I think they're ok but that's just me.

I'm pretty sure I've seen them at RONA in Creekside but it's been a while. Janitorial supply companies will have (or can get) these as well.

Also, if you're willing to come to Calgary, there's a place that specializes in plastic containers for water and they have *everything*:

http://www.calgaryplastic.ca/

I've been there; they sell to the public and are very helpful.

I am going to visit Calgary Plastics Mark as I am going to do a new build and I need to have RO/salt mixing station. Right now I just want something that is robust and I can just chuck in some live rock as I purchase.....I would like to get some dry rock as well.......so I would like to add it ahead of time to get it seeded.

When I purchased our first tank I had live rock in cheap garbage cans (plastic) from Canadian tire. My wife was fed up with the thing leaking all over the place and she had to go buy another one and move everything. (I was on the road)
So I need something robust......so I will check out Calgary plastic to see if they have something that will work for this!

Thanks!
