IBC

I have been looking and reading and see that a lot of people are using IBC containers. What does IBC stand for and where can one find them?

Intermediate Bulk Container...the container exchange is a good source if you're in the midwest and craigslist is a great source no matter where you live. If you have trouble finding them rubbermaid has something they call a stock tank that I have seen people using. Might want to put an add on craigslist of what you are looking for and keep your searches vague. If you search for IBC you may find nothing but search for water, tank, tote, or container and lots of them pop up. Look for food grade and be careful when the seller tells you it can be or has been rinsed since chemicals are absorbed by the plastic and can kill your fish.
