Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
WTB (2) 55 Gallon Vertical Water Tanks

It's ridiculous that places like Plastic-Mart and NTO Tanks charge as much or more for freight than the tanks themselves.

I just picked up a 77g and two 30g drums for $100…they have a million barrels. They have 55g
Where was that?

If you are happy with a 55G plastic drum, you can find them at shops that service both DIY beer brewers and DIY wine vintners. They sell used drums that were previously used for food grade liquids (Coke syrup, olive oils, etc.) I've bought many from Corrado's in Clifton (Locations). They used to cost $20 each but are probably $30 to $40 now. I even have some that are molded complete with 5G incremental levels. If you were clever, you could mark each 1G increment level with a by adding 1G to the drum, at a time, and marking the level on the outside of the drum with a good magic marker. (Select a white drum as they are translucent, unlike the blue ones.)
I was never concerned with the drums with the "used-for-food-grade-liquids" designation. When paranoid, I filled each with water and added a gallon of bleach for a week. (But if the drums are used by fellow winos, they're good enough for me.)
Corrado's WARNING ~ if you go there in the Fall, you'll find it hard to move around their wine shop as the soles of your shoes will be literally adhering to the floor. They bring in many, many grape varieties from California and Italy (even Brunello!) in the Fall and they will crush them into juice in 5G buckets for you while you wait. And any spilled juice on the floor becomes quite sticky, really, really sticky.
Corrado's Niceties ~ what I call the Corrado's "shopping complex" consists of a number of shops ~ a really great supermarket, a (bottled) wine shop, a gas station, a garden center, a bulk food shop and the previously mentioned DIY wine/beer supply shop. Their great supermarket is the only one I've been to, in the past few years, that has a real cheese counter with several cheese salesman behind it! (Indeed, it is the only supermarket with any cheese salesmen that I've ever been to.) And Corrado's is the only location I know of where you can get the rabbit meat needed for some esoteric Italian dishes. (Unfortunately, it comes frozen, and it comes from China.)
Corado's Visit Suggestion ~ They aren't all that far from the Secaucus site where the "NY" Reef-a-Palpooza is being held. Shop them just for the fun of it, even if you haven't got a food shopping list with you!
Ciao...

@MaximusReef - what is the name of the place in Camden where you got them?
@radiata - is there a flat spot on the front of these to add a bulkhead?
Thx.
