DAM SHIPPING costs more than the tub

This site has 50 and 100 gallon with free shipping to select stores. If there is a store on the east coast it would be cheaper to pick it up than pay those shipping charges. The price seems good too.

What are the problems that the stock bulkheads have? I just ordered the 100gallon rubbermaid stock tank.

Leaky bulkheads...generally verry cheap...Just replace the stock one with a better one.

I agree with closetfishgeek they are crappy, when I first recived mine after a while it was dripping sealing it didn't help much since trying to remove the pump would loosen it up
