Do these have lids? Where did you find these

Yes, and it was the slowest leak of my life. I thought it was sweating for weeks. We use it for chicks now and I took a pic of where it leaks from. I got most of the chicken shit out of the way for you.
It’s not even a hairline crack, I think the plastic is thinner from being worked into the wheel well and it barely sweats from the weight of the water. My spouse thinks I’ve lost my mind.
I saw your pic and audibly said “no not that one” 🫣 so I had to mention it.

These 100 gallon stock water troughs are what I used when I last ran hydroponics 3 years ago. They are HDPE and the were $100 pre Covid. They are tough as nails. Good luck with your search!

How solid are the drains. I don’t have a need for one just hoping it won’t fail and leak in that area. They seem to still be around $100
Just make sure you get something with a lid. You are already dealing with humidity issues and your dehumidifier isn’t going to appreciate 50+g of open water in your space. Plus, larger surface area = more evaporation = more humidity.
(Not in specific reference to anything recommend above, just general things to consider IMO)

Drain seems fine, it’s a threaded plug. Lid is a great call, I had humidity issues without lids.

Make sure you leave the lid on or it’ll bow out when full…
I use these for my RDWC and outside for rain collection
