Hey Dave, I got mine at Tractor Supply, but you can also get them at Farm and Fleet or order them through McMaster Carr. You can also special order them through anyone that stocks Rubbermaid. If you look at Rubbermaid Commercial Products, they are stock tanks. The ones I use for the skimmer are 150 gallon tanks. I think that the 100 gallon was too small, or maybe it was the 75 that was too small.

Perhaps too small for your needs but for various saltwater projects, I've used a Rubbermaid "Utility Tub" (comes in red). It is about 20 x 20 x 14 high.

(I wonder if they are discontinued? Spent a minute on the rubbermaid site but could not find it.) I purchased my locally (2 yrs ago) at Home Depot

BRK has some big heavy used plastic tubs they got when they bought out another Koi shop. Not sure what John is planning to do with them, but everything is for sale :o)
