Some guys may disagree with me but that's my take.

Ive had a lot of customers buy a container then come in to get the rest of the parts and it costs as much or even more than buying a tank.

We do the Ultimate tank all inclusive for 175.00. Thats rod holders, Waterproof pelican box, battery, pump, Marine grade switch, everything for 175...

I made my own, but I recommend buying the one at OEX. You will end up spending close to what they charge for everything if you are going to buy the waterproof case, the tank, the pump, the plumbing, tools, etc. If you are going to end up making your own, however, this is the kit I used along with a cat food container: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is that an in-store only deal? I only see them online for $199.

Don't be a girly-man...

Make your own...

Much better than a Hobie tank - switches don't corrode, A LOT cheaper (well under $100 for mine), no special size battery. It can be made as a "dragger" or through-the-scupper type, can be made so it won't self drain when your battery dies, etc., etc.

Through-the-scupper type may take a little more experimentation, but then you'll always be able to trouble shoot it yourself.
