So me and my friend are trying to set up a nice indoor pond in my basement and im having trouble finding ones at about 300 gallons. I got my hands on a 100 gallon tub for $70 but would really like one of 300-400g. Does anyone know where i should try and about how much they cost??? Thanks in advance.

most of the large rubbermaid tubs are used for giving water to farm animals so a large farm supply company should have or be able to get what you need. i used one for redeared sliders a while back they work good but i dont remember the price

You can try East Coast Aquatics. The Hidden Reef has some that they store their live rock in. You could try them to see if they sell them or ask where they got them.

Feed stores for horse troughs or even one of those plastic truck bed toolboxes will work.
Why not use a pre formed pond from a local home inprovement store? Or even build a frame and use pond liner?

Well the general rule includes three words: QUICK, CHEAP, PERFECT
If its cheap and quick, it wont be perfect...

I would say that the pond liner would be the cheapest way to go.
