OKLAHOMA	I am going to purchase a 100 gallon tank today to grow out some fish in and wanted some advice on the two options below. http://www.tractorsupply.com/rubbermaid-reg-structural-foam-stock-tanks-100-gal-capacity-2229901 http://www.tractorsupply.com/tuff-stuff-products-heavy-duty-oval-tank-110-gal--2229862 Has anyone ever used either of these? Would you recommend one over the other and if so what are the reasons for your choice? Thanks

I realize it doesn't have the drain like the Rubbermaid one has, but I imagine you can bucket enough out to make it light enough to tip it over. Subscribe to Pond Boss Magazine NEFGA

Plus I am sure I could add a drain later if I need to. Just have to check around and make sure it will work before I cut a hole in the tank.
