Sorry, I already sold the 150 tank to Sahib Punjabi.

I do have a 100 gal one. But it has a crack near the drain and there are 2 holes drilled near the top....I think the holes are around 1 1/2 inch, maybe 2 inch. I goit it that way...a guy was using it in aquaponics

I've been 'meaning to' re-repair the crack with some 2 part plumbers epoxy. The guy had tried to use car bondo. I think he said it leaked slow. I know it held rain water for awhile, till I turned it over. t's just been sitting...I've never used it.

I also have a cattle feed trough that looks like this...

Mine is a differant brand, with a solid bottom. It had a 2 " hole near one end when I got it. Then I put another at the other end

This really is a great hobby. You will enjoy it as well as get to eat food that has been grown naturally.

God bless,
