Aquaculture & Fishkeeping

The 455L tank is widely used for koi, carp, and larger fish due to its generous capacity and smooth, easy-clean interior. Ideal for quarantine, treatments, temporary holding, and pond maintenance, the open-top design provides excellent visibility and accessibility during handling. Choose the Heavy-Duty version for full-volume water loads in long-term aquatic setups.

Sports & Wellbeing – Perfect as a Large Ice Bath

This size is extremely popular in gyms, sports clubs, hotels, and physiotherapy environments as a practical, cost-effective ice bath. The deep 455L capacity allows full-body immersion, while its stable base and smooth walls make it comfortable and hygienic for recovery use. Heavy-Duty is recommended for continuous full-water ice bath setups.

Domestic & Garden – Ideal for Pond Projects and Water Handling

For home users, the 455L tank is ideal for pond building, water transfers, cleaning pumps, or storing large water volumes during maintenance. Its robust MDPE construction withstands outdoor use year-round, and optional drainage fittings make emptying simple. A popular choice for larger DIY pond builds and garden projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the Heavy-Duty version for aquaculture use?

If you plan to fill the tank close to the top with water, the Heavy-Duty version is recommended. Its thicker MDPE walls prevent flexing and maintain rigidity under full liquid load.

Can this tank be used as an ice bath?

Yes. The 455L tank is frequently used as a full-size ice bath for gyms, sports teams, and recovery centres. Its depth and stable footprint make it suitable for safe, comfortable immersion.

Is the 455L tank suitable for outdoor use?

Absolutely. The MDPE construction is UV-stable, weather-resistant, and designed for long-term outdoor performance. It’s ideal for pond projects, water storage, and garden applications.
