how much? $20 with delivery. i really need a smaller one that is no wider than 3'. there has to be a place locally that carries these tubs or something comparable.

I have a smaller rubbermaid farm tub, 75g I think. Your welcome to it, it's just taking up real estate at our facility. Heh, I may even be able to bring it by sometime this week as I need to bring Jim his stand soon.

Are you looking for the industrial/farm grade horse troughs, or just those blue/green 20g tubs? The farm grade can be purchased from any feed store, unfortunatly, I can't tell you any on that side of the mountain. Natural Life in Sunnyvale has had some in the past, give Manfred a call, or ask Matt (Al G Blenny)

Looks like its a 70g, from the above link.

32" x 40 1/2" upper OD. You could cut it down a bit, I've done it many times in the past.
