Hey Cameron, these are standard 275 & 330 gal ibcs. I have paid from 60.00 to 20.00 ea so be sure and shop around early as it takes a while to find the best deals. I turned a local barrel recycler onto ibcs and he let's me have any I need for 25.00 ea. as a thank you as he has sold lots for 40.00 ea. since and he finds some real beauts. I try to use the 330s full size for fish and the 275 of course make 2 gbs with less waste. Of course the biggest part is what was in them. Try for food grade like veg oil but things like Round Up can actually be easier to wash out. Just be sure to remove the 2" drain valve and wash that out very carefully as chems get caught behind the ball valve so take it apart if you can. I learned this AFTER I buried my sump Every time a fish dies you will wonder what was left behind that ball valve. Those grow nets are part of my wife's art show stand but there are lots of ways to make trellises. Here is a more recent pic of one of those cabbages: (note the date)

I like the staking ideas! I am definitely planning to use IBC totes for my system. What size were these before you cut them down?
