I had been doing a survey of containment tanks in preparation for creating the next evolution of The Black Beauty DIY tank:
As you can see, shipping costs were costly in terms of currency and time. The Black Beauty used Norwesco 360 gallon containment tanks. Because those were only 16 inches high, i wanted a bit more height. So i was attracted to the 325 gallon containment tank built by Den Hartog which is 24 inches high. Hastings has a 28 inch high tank, but again, dealing with the costs in terms of time and currency to receive it did not interest me. Furthermore, that tank has a drain plug in it, which means that it leaks if the drain plug is removed. Not likely to happen, but no need to have that worry.
I called the manufacturer (Den Hartog) and asked them which distributors might have the tank on hand. The first distributor they gave me (Protank, TX) only had one on hand. I called back and the lady at first refused to do anything but I persisted. she mentioned offhand that Chemical containers had bought four a year ago. At first, I wrote off calling them, figuring they were gone by now.
But I had the browser tab open the next day and what do you know, they had two!
