Default LR Plastic Water Containers

I would like to know where the best place to find water storage tanks.
I would like 2 barrels or containers in the 55 gallon range for a water storage and mixing station.
New or used, if someone has such things and is looking to rid themselves of it.

Also looking for a water container for my ATO, the space I have available is 9 1/2" W x 15 3/4" D x 20" H.
Any ideas or suggestions here are most welcome. As of right now I am considering a glass tank built locally. But i'm guessing that there are much cheaper alternatives.

I use 21qt as my ATO bucket. It is almost exact the size you need, although the width would be tight. It cost something like $4 from Walmart.

I have an extra 55G drum I bought brand new a few months ago. It has 3/4" bulkheads top and bottom welded in by the shop that sold it to me.

I was going to run 2 barrels but I think just 1 now.

Check out my mixing station thread here for pics of its twin:

Brand new they are $100 but guaranteed not to leach any previous contents. I went this way because a few of the used $40 versions I saw were stained with who knows what and I didn't want to risk it.
