[font=Arial] [/font]
Do anyone know where I can get small water tanks to use for grow beds. Looking for something around 1m to 1.2m in diameter and approx 40cm high. saw some on the backyard aquaponics website but no tanks suppliers in Perth can help me.

thanks

Bunnings, perhaps? Call first (Bunnings Claremont staff are particularly helpful) as they will contact other branches, too.

sounds a bit like wa [s]garbage[/s] salvage....
we're not fancy but we're cheap!

Oh and don't expect to get quite the same look, longevity or appeal!!

What is it timmy, I find you seem to have a sense that everyone is trying to rip you off!
Are you well paid?
Do you think perhaps you are over paid?
Do you think other people are over paid?
Are people not entitled to live off their risk of investment?
Why is it you always knock tradies?

I see Faye is looking at this thread, so I'll try and get the comment in before she does, because this is a saying she told me a while back...

If your first expense is your last expense then it's the least expense.

What you should be thinking about Bensoni s that if you are using what is available does it fit all the safe perameters. For example if you are growing food to eat you would want to make sure that the product is food grade, if it is in the sun it needs to be uv stabilised and if it is to hold extreme weight is it engineered and tested to hold the weight. Is it stable so as not to fall on a child or pet if knocked or bumped. Safety is of the utmost importance.

and is it safe so that a child will not fall in and drown.

HAHA Joel. My statement is what you told me. Isn't that ironic?
