[Nhcoll-l] specimen tanks

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Richard

Attached is information from the two suppliers we have used in the past.  They are both very similar in construction and "hardiness".

The only other reliable option that I am aware of are the polycarbonate pails sold by University Products - http://www.universityproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=165.  However, these do not seal very well and will require some additional mechanism to prevent evaporation over the long term.

Hope that helps

Andy

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] specimen tanks


We have a teaching collection of fishes and have been using a large (5') igloo cooler for large specimens. Recently it sprang a leak and flooded several rooms with isopropyl. The odor and safety issues got the attention of Facilities and I now need to get serious about holding large critters. I would appreciate knowing some suppliers of the standard stainless steel specimen tanks (36"+) and if there are other less expensive, but reliable, options.
