Water Tanks (Ong Naam) how much approx ?

[iammike]

(See Attachment)

We have a discussion and we hope you guys can clear this up for us, how much they cost approx.

The misses says "12-1300 THB" and the BIL says "800-900"

Thanks

5000 I guess. Check for cracks inside first.

5000 are you sure ? That's a lot higher then the guesstimates from the misses and the BIL

And that would make them (I think) more expensive then the new plastic ones, I just recently bought one of those Hi-Tec (no Ta Krai Naam etc etc bs ) plastic ones, 2000 Liters for 9500 THB, and I think these "concrete" ones can only hold 1000 Liters.

Pichai sells water tanks... 1500 litre i got from him..

Thanks Toffo, but I know where I can buy Water Tanks, it's just that we have a friendly discussion and we want to know the Approx price of those large concrete Water Tanks (look at the attachment in Post #1) .

[toffo]

Sorry.. Im on comission.. 

[iammike]

No Problems !!

We will definitely buy stuff over there (I Think) but not now.

If no-one knows the price the BIL will go in the next couple of days and check the price.

I have found one post on the net (from 2012) and that mentioned 800 THB for the Tank and an extra 150 THB for the LId, so I doubt sincerely that the price has risen to  5000 THB  (as 1 Member guessed) but then again TiT

Finally found the answer as the BIL went to look and ask.

They are 1050 THB and another 200 THB for the Lid, so in total 1250 THB.

I gave 4 away with 3 lids just to get rid of them.

A shame. There are very good to store water and I think they are more durable then the Plastic Tanks. The stainless tanks are just too expensive.

they were on some unused land we owned.  Basically a mosquito breeding ground so I would add guppies to eat the lavie. 

Have not found a reason to want them back.

But the mosquitoes problem you have with all of your tanks, not alone with the ones I was talking about.

But If you really not use the tanks, just put a couple of drops of dish washing liquid in them once in a while, this will prevent the mosquitoes to lay their eggs.

As a blantant conservative.  The natural method appeals to me.   I just too a bunch of guppies that have excessively breeded in some pots I had, and I got a lot more fat guppies.

I've currently got 6 of these water tanks and need to get rid of at least 3 possibly up to 5 of them.

55555 Maybe a good alternative to raising Plah Nin, I also don't think they are as much work.
