Steel Tanks

If you want reasonably priced tanks that may or may not be relocated later, our galvanized steel tanks may be right for you. Round steel tanks are unsurpassed for strength. You can carry the sections through a pedestrian doorway, bolt several tanks together in one day with only two people and take them down just as quickly. Use liners where portability is important. Bolts included.

A sloping concrete bottom can be poured, complete with drain and heating coils. Their high strength allows many possibilities, including very large yet economical tanks (sizes available up to 105'), deep tanks (to 14') can be built by bolting panels two or more high (please request engineering assistance). Tanks may be partially buried to conserve heat and make fish observations easier.

Our epoxy products or PVC liners are recommended for use wherever the galvanized surface is undesirable (galvanized steel has been used to water livestock and hold potable water for years; however, at high and low pH, zinc may be given off into the water and could pose a problem in some situations). Never use copper sulfate in unprotected galvanized tanks. Prices include nuts, bolts and lap joint caulking. Prices are FOB manufacturer. Allow at least a two-week lead time and additional time for shipping. Call for shipping charges.

Many trout farmers use these tanks without liners or interior paint when their pH is near neutral.
