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. |

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 Attachment: 001 (Medium) (Small).JPG [ 82.32 KiB | Viewed 3299 times ] 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 |

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...

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
