rubbermaid... 6 years

[ramoth41]

I have to say that in the 6 years we have been using them we have changed out due to leaks 2 times... Of course because my tank, though on the cement floor, is surrounded by carpet so leaks show themselves about the time the carpet is wet! Sometimes I think that because of the amount of water in the sump the sides tend to bow out and that put stress on the seams.. they were never ment to hold water for 6 years! lol Plus the heat from the pumps ect.. But for the money they are worth it. Now that we have one inside the other, kinda doublewall construction idea, we haven't had a problem. But what do ya do with all the stupid lids you don't use! lol

[spookey]

just dont get the lids lol

[ramoth41]

But what do ya do with all the stupid lids you don't use! lol

Get a really big dog (English Mastiff) and use them as frisbees!!!!!

[hummer]

go sledding with them since you have snow lol lol

[ramoth41]

ohh thats scary cuz I actually thought of the sled!! lol my neighbor has a dog that isn't as big but prolly could do the job...
even funnier.. back in the last year I was in USAF in VA it snowed bad..closed the base bad... we had a Samoyd that we rigged a sled out of a trash can lid.. pulled to the 7-11..more than a few times and drank the store out of beer!! hehehehehe
Man those were the days!! "off we go into the wild blue yonder.."
