I've been looking for tanks myself...but in the 100-110g range. Fleet Farm can get them but they either want an order for like $10,000 or something like that or they want to charge freight, which ends up being more than the storage tank. If you find something, let me know.

Thanks for the responses,
I didn't ask if either place could order them. It looks like I may just order them online and pay the freight. I guess if you have them sent to a business the freight costs are lower. We have a warehouse in Appleton, so I can have them sent there.

I ordered my 210 from National Tank Outlet after looking all over this side of Wisconsin. Best price I could find. They all come filthy and need to be cleaned inside and out. They're stored outside. I had to crawl inside mine and scrub it out. There was red algae in the bottom from the little bit of water that was inside. I had expected a nice clean white tank like the site showed. It looked used when it came and the freight company isn't exactly careful about scratching it up. I called to complain and I was assured that they all come that way regardless of where you order from. The tank is a Norwesco, the same brand Fleet carries. I do like the tank, screw on cover, and heavy duty 2" bulkhead...

Well, I ordered 2 - 175 gallon tanks from plastic-mart.com. The shipping to a commercial address was $100.00. I guess they ship out of Iowa, so they should be here fairly quick. I will update when I get them.

I received my two new 175 gallon vertical tanks on Thursday. The order went well, and delivery only took a few days. The tanks were wrapped in cardboard, and then plastic wrap upon delivery. So if anyone is interested in ordering, I would definitely recommend plastic-mart.com.

Bri Guy,
I've been working on a room about 11' x 15' in my basement to support a new system that will be kept directly above it.
Here is a picture of the utility sink, with my RO system.
A close up of my RO system.
The system sump in place, but no plumbing done at this time. The sump is on a 72" x 30" steel stand I had built years ago, but never had a tank with these dimensions made.
The new steel stand directly above the equipment/fish room.
And the tank, that is still in my garage.
The tanks measurements are 74" x 48" x 32" all 19mm glass with an external overflow at one end. It is currently turned on its side on a narrow pallet in order to get it into the house.
Progress has been a little slow being summer, but it will get done eventually.
