We had a 100 gallon rubbermade horse trough at work that got a small crack in the bottom. Boss bought the spay kind and paint on kind. Neither worked on it.
It's now one of my chick brooders.

What did you end up using to fix it or did you yet?

 

[The Moonshiner]

Na I didn't fix it. It's just a small crack in the bottom. Wood chips cover it so no big deal.

You can probably fix the leak(s) with a heavy duty marine epoxy. Just need to let it dry for a day or so.

I've actually gotten 2 from work so far. The other one had the threaded in plug and he wanted to swap it for a drain value thingy. It was metal and someone cross threaded it and kept cranking on it so much that once they figured it out the threads were wasted and it leaked cross threaded or threaded right so I got that one too.

But why? Chicks don't need a brooder that'll hold water.
Now if I ever switch to strictly ducks....

The cap and O-rings are much easier to replace than a crack or holes are in any tank…

…I thought you got them to put ‘em to actual use, not just to hatch more chicks.

I have new skin but in the climbing gym it gets roughed up and calloused (and my nails are so rough!)
