A Rubbermaid Brute container form Home Depot is what I use. It will hold at least 25 gallons which is exactly right for my water changes. You could pair it up for the 50 gallons. Otherwise, look for a food grade plastic drum which would hold about 45 gallons. I'm not sure where to look for one of those though.
