Rubbermaid black bins - where to buy?

[Alexander1312]

Folks, where can I buy these black rubbermaid bins you are all using for tank transfers etc? I am planning to go on a Mantis hunt and might have to take out all of my rocks and put them into these. Thanks!

If you're talking about the black bins with yellow lids, Lowe's and Home Depot usually has them. They're cheapest at Costco (~$8). Good to have on hand if you have an emergency, and also really good for organizing your reefing stuff to boot.

If you’re talking about the big stock tanks - I got mine at tractor supply. I have a 100g and a 40g - very sturdy!

Yes, I was probably more thinking of those, but the 100 gallon are too large for me to store when not in use. Where did you get the 40 gallon from? I only see a 50 gallon but do not like the dimensions too much.

Tractor Supply up in Petaluma - the 40g is an awesome size!

those 40g brute trash can works well too if you are just holding the rocks, get the wheelie coaster while you at it.

Not Rubbermaid branded though, does not show up online at least.

The one I have is one of the top search results for “stock tank.” Tuff stuff is the brand. If you want Rubbermaid specifically, not sure where to get that size sorry!

Ok great. I just wanted to make sure I am looking at the right item. I saw this brand but was not sure if this is what you meant. Thanks!

I’ve got a 100g and a shallow 50g stock tank. If you would rather borrow then buy.

Thanks so much for the offer Andy. I bought the 50g now, since I thought it would be good to have something like this if needed urgently. Good to know you have the 100g though . Thanks again!
