Custom Fresh Water Tanks

[roamlab]

Hi Guys! I hope this is the right forum to post in.

I'm replacing my old water tank and want to get the most out of the space I have. I've scoured sites selling water tanks but nothing has quite the right dimensions. So, I'm looking into ordering a custom fresh water tank.

Has anyone purchased a custom tank or made their own?

X2 Ronco.

I found one of their "off the shelf" units, had the drain plug placed where I wanted it.

Make sure your tank is FDA water safe -
One more thing, if you find one you like, watch the shipping charges, they can be horrendous.

You may be better off paying more for one that's within driving distance versus purchasing and having it shipped.

I ended up picking up my tank at the Ronco site in Orange County, CA.

Thanks! I'm based out of Nashville, TN but I figured I'd have to have it shipped, regardless.

Thanks PNW_Steve! Looking back, I was eyeing some of their tanks but on a third party site. I'll shoot them an email!

I had 4 portables made for me by watertanks.com. Couple hundred apiece. But yeah, made to my specs. And they suggested black and not translucent so algae wouldn't grow. Good call.

Thanks 2oldman! It looks like I haven't reached out to them yet.

I hadn't thought about getting a black tank. Though, this would be an enclosed space, I don't know how much a difference that would make in terms of algae growth?
