    Like the title states I need a 150+ rubbermaid tote to hold my freshwater rays in until this weekend. The bigger the better. I am getting ready to transport my rays into a bigger tank and I need to move my current tank out of my apartment sooner then later. I am located in Ames and I would be willing to rent this tote from anybody. The tote would have to be clean enough to use for freshwater. If you would like you could call me at 319-929-1504 thanks for the help.

    I thought the biggest one that they made was just 100 gallons...if they make them bigger, I've never seen them. Good luck Trevor...those are some really cool rays!

    Trevor,
    If it helps I have a 70g that I am not using. You are welcome to borrow it. If I remember right, you are in Ames. PM me if you would like it. It will need a plug for the bulkhead, but otherwise is very usable.
    EDIT: I also don't know what size they are, but WalMart has those green turtle shaped sandboxes here in Ames clearanced at $10. Not very deep (not sure how much that matters), but they have a decent footprint. That might work for you.

    The inflatable pools don't have a strong enough lining for me. Those rays will puncture right through that. Tweed I might need your help. Bela what is the demension for your tote? Is it a shallower 70 gallon tote because that might work.
