Rubbermaid Troughs?

We got ours from Water World, a pond supply place in Farminingdale. I've also heard that Agways and feed stores carry them. I think TFJ may be able to get them at a reasonable price too, but I'm not sure.
 
Question for everyone using this for a sump or stock tank. Don't you guys worry that something is going to get inside it? What do you guys do to cover it .. if you do cover it?

No covers at all Mike. They're wide open. I hadn't thought about anything getting into them . . . until now . . . thanks!
 
Like what kind of stuff getting in. Mine were in the basement so there were no animals and i never fell in not in once. Seriously i had a piece of plexiglass on them during the winter just to help hold the heat but kept them uncover during the summer for cooling. i guess some dust or something could get in but wasn't a major concern
 
i did have covers made from Pink Rigid insulation for like 3 months... but the only thing that gets in the sump is me, and i had to remove them, since I am in them so much!! :)
 
Hi,

We have two NEW rubbermade containers that were never used. (70 & 150 gallons) I belive I am local to you so that would be an added plus. If you are interested in either one of them please PM me and we can work out a price for either. I would let to move them if possible.
