Food grade storage tanks

[Dk638]

Anyone know where I can buy 30 or 55 gallon food grade drums on Long Island?
I really don't want to use brute cans for my ro/di and mixing station. Thanks

Trade Fair hardware on Sunrise Hwy in Copiague.

Nice, that's close. Thanks
Did you or Anyone else ever buy one there? Pics?
Is pricing reasonable

For a 55 gallon your probably looking in the 120 to 170 range

I know where u can get them 15 $ each but have been used for oil and need to have top cut open and powerwashed

That's a little pricey. I'm actually hoping to find 2 30gallon containers

Hey matt, I'm definitely not comfortable with the oil

Just to give you an idea. My 5 gallon food storage container with a screw on cap cost me 60 at trade fair. Looked something like this but mine is rectangular. They are not cheap http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=25109&catid=641 . Sure its cheaper on this site but shipping cost is almost doubles the price on this site

This is the one I bought from trade fair. Cost me 60. On here its about 43 http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=22914&catid=958

What do you mix your salt in James?

Brute 33 gallon. 20 bucks with a lid

I found a guy selling 55 gallon plastic barrels empty but he says they had beer line cleaner in them. Anyone know what is in beer line cleaner?

 

[Mattl22]

They where used for some kind of cooking oil
$15 blue 55 gal drum

Might be cheaper to get a 20 or 30 gallon tank and do your water changes using that is you dont want to use the brute

 

[Dk638]

I'm leaning toward the brute, rather use the money on livestock.

 

[duke62]

Only reason I bought that container was because it fit perfectly under the shelf when I had my 92. Brute works fine. I was actually thinking for getting new mixing containers but to much money

Hey here is the link for the guy who sells 55 gal barrels on ebay and he is located in Long island. I bought 2 barrels from him for 15 buck each, as of right now i don't see any barrels for sale from him but send him message and he will reply to you when time when he will have them. You can't beat 15 bucks for 55 gal blue barrel..... I hope this helps...
