bunnings used to sell them for $60, but they have disappeared and i'd like to expand my system. the boss won't tolerate non matching solutions. if anyone knows where to grab them i'd be grateful

If they were definitely Nylex... then you've got a problem, as Nylex went into receivership last year....

Post a pic please Timmy... I might be able to point you toward something very similar..

argh. that explains why they disappeared. i was tempted to buy one of joel's beds but the space i have is too narrow. a sheep trough would be perfect but they want an arm and a leg for them

Hmm... are you sure they were nylex?? Take a look at my second (smaller) system thread below, if they look like them, then I don't think they were nylex and I have seen them in some Bunnings about a month ago. Sorry cannot recall which one but would be in the SOR.

the same but not as deep. i'm sor as well, wasn't armadale bunnings was it ?

Then it is probably the 160L litres one that you are after. I tend to frequent Maddington, Melville and Cannington bunnings so it could be one of those...

Do they look like these ones



If so, it is a 160L tub and I got them from one of the local hardware shops. We dont have bunnings here. And I know they still have them and they arent Nylex

yep thats the one. good news i guess, but i looked at cannington and maddington bunnings already and can't see them, i might check out melville.

Actually went and had a look after work and they didnt have any 160L ones but 220L ones that had a larger footprint and the same depth, so I grabbed one.

Check out your local hydro stores... they often have both sizes of those tubs... popular size for reservoir tanks...

Timmy, how did you go? Did you find any?

yep i've had success. melville bunnings has the 220L version for $59. i've got my new GB all plummed in and working sweet.

Good to hear. I knew I saw them somewhere recently. Must be Melville then.

Yeah, good stuff. I got two of them and they fitted in nicely for a growbed upgrade

Timmy - were they just in the storage/crate section of 'B'?

That might be my job for tomorrow!
