Anyone have Rubbermaid tanks? and Cheapo MH light...

[erickrm]

Ok so i am getting out of reefing for a bit so to store my corals... i am going to put togethere a sump and prop tank for my dads Reef(90G mixed reef) and run it in his basement this way he can get his sump and all that noisy crap out of his living room so here is what i am looking for:

Rubbermaid Tanks: a 50G(for my corals and fish) and a 70 or 100G for the sump(for my dad) let me know ASAP i can trade some corals or cash, Cash always seems to trade better than coral haha

Lighting: I need a cheap MH light that will contain my corals for the time being until i am ready to setup again(within the next 9 months ) so for the time being the corals will be under my dads care, and mine when ever i decide to go look lol.... Of course I will be there all time hahah.

Thank you all

rubbermaids?? i know they can be bought at agway but compared to the online prices they are pretty hefty in price lol almost double!!! from what i see it is a little less than $1 per gallon.... these guys want almost 2 times that.... so just trying to see if anyone is trying to get rid of their prop system b4 i go ahead and man up with the funds lol.... how much is shipping? bc i know that is the major part of the price in these great lil tanks.

Thank you

seacraze: i just finished making a call and it appears that if you order it from some of the online stores it can be shipped to a local hardware store for free if you'd like to look into that and possibly avoid shipping fee

if you go up to the horse and tractor store next to big y in enfield they have pretty inexpensive food grade plastic totes (for horse troughs)

as for mh's, won't those melt a rubbermaid tote?

I'm using a make shift intense light setup in my frag tank, almost too intense for the zoos in it.

ended up costing me $22:

I have an old 250W pendant fixture that I could sell you for $125 (from the school project). It is not junk, nor rusty, I just switched to the 2 x 150W for more coverage. Let me know.

The rubbermaid prices seem to be very good!
I am going to compare before I order - thank you so much for adding that!

[erickrm]

no prob do it right is the name of the website i saw, and you can hae them ship it to your local hardware if iavailable, i know there are a few in CT and it iwll be free if i was not in a rush to empty mine i would just order it from there, which i will probably have my dad do that to save him some doug. good luck
