Not sure where you'd get them in Perth Gibbo... but new ... you're looking at $400-500...
At that price.. I seriously think you'd be better off buying a brand spanking BYAP tank from Joel...

SCHUETZ DSL PO Box 38 South Fremantle WA 6162 Tel: 08 9336 2688 Fax: 08 9336 6052 or there is a place in Jandakot who had a few for $360 I think I can check if they have any left. |

Think I paid $390 for a 1000ltr water tank. Very strong as it was designed to water stock. And the plastic will not become brittle like IBC's. If your going to pay for a new IBC you should check all your options. |

Thanks for the info everyone, I'll chase up Schuetz. I guess I liked the thought of an IBC as oppposed to a stock tank etc. because they are enclosed and thus likely to have minimal water loss through evaporation. Also, I could place it outside in the rain and not have any issues with diluting the fish water and / or the FT overflowing... What are others thoughts on this, are they ligitimate concerns? |

Was offered a free one that had been outside for a while. Pushed on the side and my hand went through it.  So they do break down after a while. Might last longer if you paint the outside. Then theres the paint peeling off.

Generally, we shade/cover our tanks regardless Gibbo... more to stop algael growth than anything else... but it does prevent (or lessen) rainfall events as well... |
