stock tank

It's a bit early, but I picked up this factory reject 1000 gallon tank that I can use for the fish. It has a few flanges along the bottom that need to be capped. The best part was the price....FREE!

Comment by Blooms-n-Bees Lavender & Honey on February 27, 2014 at 12:24pm: THAT IS ONE HUGE TANK. MY WIFE AND I JUST STARTED THIS ON OUR FARM IN SPEEDWELL AND I THOUGHT OUR 200 GAL, TANK WAS BIG.

Comment by Rob Torcellini on November 10, 2011 at 12:30pm: sounds good to me! I don't have any other 900's floating around, but I think I may have a 300 hiding the woods somewhere!

Comment by Steve Perreault on November 10, 2011 at 12:22pm: I'll bet you no APC member has a rain collection tank greater than 900 gallons and if they do, they need to share a picture of it - If I lose I'll help you for another day - if you lose you have to get me one of those babies - are you on? If so, I would think a week is enough for this wager - what do you think?

Comment by Rob Torcellini on November 10, 2011 at 11:32am: That's a measly little 900 gallons - hardly worth mentioning! ;-) Actually, if you look carefully at this picture, at the top-right corner, you can see it against the garage......

Comment by Steve Perreault on November 10, 2011 at 10:49am: You gotta post a picture of your rain water tank - All of APC will envy that baby - I still do

Comment by Rob Torcellini on November 10, 2011 at 10:28am: LOL. It's all smoke and mirrors. ;-) The tank is on its side. It's ~ 6' in diameter, 5 feet tall. and yes, the dome is already too small!

Comment by Steve Perreault on November 10, 2011 at 10:17am: Ha! the picture looks like the dome fits inside the new tank - I guess you need a bigger dome now

Comment by Rob Torcellini on November 10, 2011 at 7:30am: Excellent! It's great to see other people starting new systems!

Comment by Bill Moore on November 10, 2011 at 7:13am: Thanks! Keep up the good work... your Harbor Freight experiment inspired me to start my own little AP system.

Comment by Rob Torcellini on November 10, 2011 at 6:35am: The southern 3/5ths of the dome will be in a twin-wall polycarbonate-Lexan by GE. It was just delivered yesterday!!! The northern 2/5ths will be plywood/shingles and insulated. The entire thing is made from scratch...I guess you have missed my videos on it. ;-) Start with this one - it details the entire adventure! dome video 1
