Where are people buying water storage tanks?

They look to be out of stock right now - but Home Depot sells HDPE 55g rain barrels for about $100.

Old beer fermenter (or a new one) is perfect for mixing as it has water level indicators, plus your beer temperature gauge.
Your only setting up a Nano right? You don't need one that big yet
That's a problem down the track if you ever have a larger tank
I have a 25g water box, and mix 30l of saltwater in my old fermenter and it works perfectly. Then when I need it, open the tap at the bottom and pour it into smaller buckets to put in the tank
Problem solved

i bought two 50g brute rolling bins for 60$ each in 2014 from Amazon.

Now they are $175-200 each. ridiculous

That’s good. In 2020 I bought a 55g water barrel for 120$

I suggest getting the hand pump kit so you can get water out of those things without electricity

I am wondering where everyone is buying their water storage tanks for a water mixing station? It is bad enough that the tanks cost a couple hundred dollars, but the shipping is another couple hundred on top of that. I am looking to buy two of them, and don't want to spend $600 or more just for the tanks. Has anyone found a place online to buy them with reasonable shipping, or does anyone know of a place in south east Michigan or North West Ohio where I can pick them up for a good price?

I have been checking Facebook marketplace, but there isn't really anything there except barrels or really large tanks. I am hoping to find a matching pair of white verticle tanks between 50 and 75 gallons. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There is no reasonable shipping. Either pick it up or find a farm/feed store that stocks them. I just went with white and blue brute trash cans.

I have a question.
Over here England brute bin's are in litres I assume it's for how much trash they can hold.
But I have emailed brute for a idea what size holds 50 gallon of water.. No reply from brute.
I have seen a 121 litre brute but no idea if that's the size to buy.
