Where to buy huge sump?

[johnny roastbeef]

I have seen lots of people using these large bins for sumps. I have not been able to find one that is water tight. Does anybody know a source for these?

As an alternative, what is an other good inexpensive choice for a large sump?

Make your own with a big tank. Or they have the big rubbermaid tubbs. Ive seen people sell them on the for sale forum.

There is a place on Long Island by the Home Depot on Sunrise Hwy in Copaigue that sells large empty bins, from what I hear at a good price.

Maybe someone knows the name of it?

They have all sorts of obscure items and many different tubs in stock, prices have been on the rise lately and they are cash only last I heard.

I had the same questions when I was looking for a sump and some people on Reef Central say a film on the Rubbermaid products affected skimmer output.

I got a custom sump from World Class Aquarium (Brooklyn) - it's glass and nice and clean and drilled/baffled to your specs.

The large rubbermaid stock tanks are made from a different material than the brute garbage cans. I got one from "tractor supply" for $70 but they probably don't have a location in the NYC area.
