Water Troughs

[1982vett]

I have had good luck with the Behlen poly 300 gallon round end tanks. They have outlasted anything else. Very light and easy to move around. My oldest one is at least five years old and I've only had to replace one of the braces after heavy use. My biggest complaint is the edges roll in instead of out so dirt and algae get trapped in there if you tip them over to clean them so they never clean out completely unless you use the drain plug.

I'll give the Behlen tank a thumbs up also. I've got one that is probably 15 years old or more and another around 10. It has stood up to the hard freezes that produce 4 or more inches of ice, without cracking. Although I like the sturdiness of the Rubbermade, they do not stand up thick freezing ice.
