Plastic Barrell Bait Tank!

[wildfish]

hi all! id like to install a plastic barrell live bait tank, im installing it in a nice trimmed box. i have seen the perfect barrell with large screw on lid on my travels at work (bulk food storages i think) but i cant seem to find any for sale!

i have found one the same as dano1's on ebay for $12, great price but its 65liters and i was after something a little smaller!

does any one know where i can get plastic drum with large screw on lid?

Mate, there is a Farm & Pet Food wholesaler on Camden Valley Way, Leppington.

He has a huge variety of plastic screw top tubs at a very cheap price.
