Rubbermaid totes

[TheeMon]

i know for a fact rubbermaid containers will hold up and will work perfectly... ive done this w/ minnows and feeders before in the past w/ my dad...

they are extremely strong + you can get a 55gal tote for under 10$

in fact once i get a bunch of fry(prolly like 2 years) thats a extremly real possiblity that im going to use either rubbermaid totes(or there garbage cans, but prolly totes) to hold fry in, a lot of fry heh

P.S. Thanks Woody. LOVE duct tape! Wal-Mart had a contest one year for the most creative use of duct tape...sounds like an honorable mention, at the least!

i can make all kinds of thing out of ductape, including a kick assed wallet

(and alaskan dude, we use ductape for everything here in ohio too, i mean EVERYTHING) heh

Hey,

Two questions:

1) What on Earth is a RubberMaid??? It sounds pretty dodgy to me!

2)

but if there are racoons or raptors in the area

I know that we Brits are pretty sheltered when it comes to wild animals, but I thought that raptors had been extinct for some time....?

I have a 40 gallon Serilite or Rubbermaid tote that filled up with snow over the winter outside. It has been sitting since February FULL of water and that sucker is as sturdy as can be!!!! I couldn't imagine it bursting or cracking .

I think that idea about doubling up on the totes is excellent advice. I would use the old phone book idea too!!! That would probably be the best bet!!!

"1) What on Earth is a RubberMaid??? It sounds pretty dodgy to me!"

RubberMaid is a brand name of heavy duty plastic storage box

"I know that we Brits are pretty sheltered when it comes to wild animals, but I thought that raptors had been extinct for some time....?"

Not those kind of raptors, birds of prey, like hawks, eagles, etc!

You cold dig a hole in the ground for the Rubbermaid, too. Use it as the pond, the ground would provide full support for it, no soil erosion. Hmmm.

I want to hear how it all turns out!
