how big are you looking? Rain barrels work awesome, but they are 100G plus, we use 40G storage totes, I built a simple 2x4 cart to wheel them around on, they work awesome and stack into eachother.

The rubbermaid BRUTE's are awesome. And they do come in a smaller size. They have 20, 32, and 44 gallons available. Very versatile and common in this hobby. They also have special "Brute" dolleys available if you wanted to roll them around.

Yep, that should leech pesticide into your tank water nicely... Maybe even fertilizer.

Just buy a rubbermaid garbage can, at least you know it wasn't used to hold poison.

Keep in mind that white 15g one will be difficult to clean out as the top looks like it's not removable. I suppose you could just cut the top off though ...
And ya, the add states Abby
