Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Just got back from the B store, they have 500 Litre bins for $129. Dimensions are about 850mm high by 1100mm diameter. Green in colour. Hopefuly will get one tonight.

is that the rain butt? has a lid?

Has lid, looks like a fat garbage bin. Is there something wrong with it?

no, just identifying which one it is sticky beak, like to picture in my head what's happening (before the real pictures are posted of course )

I think they are twice the price here.

I can't remember how much they are here, I just remember they were too small for my system and too much for Axl's credit card I did think of them as possibly suitable in another hypothetical AP system

Sound like a good price. Do they taper in at the bottom? From the dimensions given it is closer to 750L, either way this would be perfect size, and two couplinked together even better. Thanks for the heads up, i'll have a look tomoz and see what they go for here

They taper in. Couldn't get it tonight as the Ford Explorer I was going to use won't fit it in, hopefully they will be open Australia day and I will try to get my brother in laws Hiace van.

The dimensions included the top lip, so would be clser to a 1000mm diameter taken from inside.

Thanks for the further info. I think I saw an ad saying they were open today, so hopefully your in luck

I've been eyeing these bins off myself - they are the cheapest in regards to cost to size ratio.

I got three of these from Stratco for $98 each,

Hey good for my price... At B here in gladstone they had 200 lt bins for around 100 so ill take a 500 litre bin for 130!

$99each on special here in Toowoomba, was going to pick one up tomorrow myself after I empty the trailer at the tip!!!

only one?

You are right, it's a mastercard situation here!!
