Square buckets for new rdwc system

Does anyone have a link to a source for square buckets? I'm planning on building a RDWC setup for my 4x4 tent and having a hard time finding suitable buckets with lids. I've found some white ones but am looking for black. Thanks

These guys have the ez store buckets in 8 and 13 gallon size. http://www.pahydroponics.com/

Amazon. Search: square black bucket.

If the ones you found suit you, then just spray paint them black

Thanks for the link those look like just what the Dr. ordered. Hopfully heading in the right direction this time.
I tried using round buckets and even though I was very careful with drilling and deburring holes I had several small leaks at the grommets. This time I'm going to use square buckets with proper bulkheads for 2" returns.
Fingers crossed no leaks as it tends to piss my wife off. Thanks again and happy growing.

Paint just flakes off on most plastic without a lot of prep. maybe some of that pickup truck bed liner would work?

ezstore buckets with current culture lids works well. The CC bulkheads are also very legit if you want to build a leak free system.

Silicone caulk is your friend.

Ive searched high and low, PaHydro is the answer!

Lowes has square black buckets with lids for $5.99 but they’re only 5 gallons.

Lowes or Builders Square, Mennards… Those places are known to have square buckets!
