i am looking for a preferably clear plastic rubber maid type container.
the trick is it needs to fit in a 15"x 18" foot print, and should hold as much H20 as possible. height can be pretty high, over 15", i forgot the max. if it is too short, then it will defeat the purpose of a FW reservoir for an ATO.
hopefully on the cheap side. i have built tanks from acrylic before, but not looking to spend the time on effort on that right now. plus i would have to buy a whole new sheet of acrylic which is about $130.
so anybody know of any good brands or websites?
i tried here, but could not find anything that fit the bill.

Have you tried http://www.sterilite.com?
I was thinking since Hight is not an issue. Try Rain barrels.

nice site forcrz
this one could be perfect
file box
18 3/8"L x 14 7/8"W x 12 1/4"H
this calculates to 14.5 gallons which is NICE

slightly longer but that should be ok. i wonder if it comes clear?
i will have to contact them

I hope you can find something. I know it's always difficult for me to find the right rubbermaid when I need it.
