A: Hi, it is safe to fill your Behlen Country Stock Tank, but the 27-gallon rating is the recommended working capacity to prevent splashing and bowing of the poly material. While your math is correct, that it holds roughly 37 gallons at the brim, filling it to the very top for a pond could cause the sides to flex slightly or overflow during heavy rain. We recommend leaving a small gap at the top to maintain the tank's shape and keep your pond residents secure!

A: Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, this container should work well for tomato plants. To grow tomatoes effectively, you should use a container that is at least 5 gallons in size, with larger varieties of tomatoes ideally needing a container closer to 10 gallons or more to accommodate their larger root systems and maximize fruit production; a minimum size of 12 inches wide and deep is recommended for any tomato plant.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. The Behlen Country 27 gal. Rigid Poly Stock Tank should hold around 100-150 lbs of feed depending on the type of feed/density.
