Has any one bought their stainless holding tanks and how do you like them. Considering picking up a couple for next season.

You will need to supply your own bracing/framing. They are flat bottom. Andy will configure them to what ever dimension you need.

FWIW I saw A&A price list & it did get me thinking about their Tanks., I would be tempted to buy a soldered sap tank if It had a round Bottom. But With a flat bottom & solder that would be two draw backs & it would make me stick with A welded round bottom one from CDL.

I have a 580 gal tank and I like it. It is soldered, and I did make my own simple metal frame. With just a small amount of pitch,it empties out. I also made a cover and sight glass. The prices are great.

I can not speak of AA tanks but in general, it could be that larger capacity tanks are more susceptible to problems than smaller (under three thousand gallon) tanks would be. I have a 4500 gallon tank that after one season of service looks like a wrinkled up tee shirt.

Once you go with a round bottom....you never go back.

I don't know his prices, but he is in Altmar, NY. A great salmon fishing destination. The Salmon River runs thru Altmar, to Pulaski then out into Lake Ontario a few miles later.
