Thanks all for the suggestions. I called TS today and they have 150 gal tanks in stock for $125.00. I'm trying to contact a seller of a 300 gallon tank with pump and filter. He wants $125.00 for the whole thing which I think is a pretty good deal and if still available may buy that.

For the fish tank, the deeper tub would definitely be better since if you fill it to the rim, they will jump out way too easy (even covers don't stop all exploration attempts.)<br />
<br />
I've been doing ok so far with the rubbermaid stock tanks that are 25 inches deep and I fill them to about 18-20 inches normally depending on the situation. Tractor Supply company is definitely the best price for rubbermaid stock tanks in the 100 and 300 sizes. They also carry a couple other varieties as well.<br />

The fish farm where I got my Tilapia fry have a growout pond that is only about 12 inches deep. It is wall to wall fish and they seem to be doing ok, even with the alligator in the far corner! I doubt 3 inches will really make that much difference, You could put some overhead cover to make em feel safer. (And avoid the alligators to make yourself feel safer )

Hi Gus, Have you checked with tractor supply ? They have a search engine on thier site. I typed in New Orleans...a handfull of them came up....the one on top of the list was in Hammond. Of course, I have no idea how far that is for you ?<br />
It might be worth checking prices....<br />
I recieved an email from TS today, offering 15% off for 'on-line orders'. I wonder if they'll let you pick up, 'on-line orders' at thier stores....to save on the shipping costs ?
