where to find 50 - 60 gal liquid storage tanks

Redoing my mixing station into a auto water change setup.

I have the 45G brut trash cans now, but would like something just a bit bigger and perhaps taller / narrower. Like to do a full bag of salt at once.


Where can I find liquid storage tanks?

-Local "farm/tractor" store (Farm&Fleet, Tractor Supply)
-US plastics or other local plastic bin/commercial supply store
-Ebay/Amazon

The black pickle barrels are 58 gallons. They are roughly the same footprint as a brute. I see them on Detroits craigs list. You may find them closer.

Pretty sure that I remember seeing 55 gallon brute cans. But don’t hold me to it. Maybe in a restaurant supply.

If you are headed down this way, there's a guy on CL that lives all of 5 minutes from my house that sells 55g drums that had been used for vinegar for like 15$ ea.
