Not that expensive... a new one will set you back about $300+... about the same as a new IBC

gee that was quick, thanks guys.

i'm still undecided about those tanks or IBC's, i'm looking more to square, cause i have a space thats about 3.6m wide, i can fit 3 ibc's in that. what do the ibc's go for second hand around NSW.(newcastle).

if looking second hand be very wary of what they have had in them but I would look for around the $100 mark.

the cover looks like it is made of Qubelok/connect-it
how safe is using aluminium as a fish tank cover if it gets rained on?

we call them nally bins (manufacturers name), used a lot by wineries, orchards etc for picking fruit into

Indeed, I got the idea of using a Mega Bin for my FT from my dad's winery. It will probably become my ST if (or more likely when :lol: ) I upgrade my system.
