Description

Overview

This black IBC tank is an as-new 1000 litre chemical-grade container, code C185B, with a dark HDPE bottle inside a steel cage on a pallet base. The black wall stops daylight getting through, so water and nutrient mixes stay clearer for longer when the tank stands outside.

Standard white IBCs let light in, and in our summer sun that means green slime within weeks. A black bottle solves that without wrapping the tank in shade cloth. Need a food-grade bottle instead? Look at the as-new food-grade IBC. For heavy daily use, the brand-new NC255 chemical IBC is the next step up.

Where it works

Hydroponic tunnels in Gauteng and Limpopo use a black IBC tank to hold nutrient solution, and macadamia and avocado growers around Tzaneen and Levubu park them beside drip irrigation pumps. Wash bays, brickyards and road camps also like them for outdoor water storage, because a tank that sits in the sun all year still delivers clean water to the pump. Remember that a dark wall hides the level, so plan a dipstick or sight tube. Every other option is listed under IBC tanks.

Questions about this product

Why buy a black IBC instead of a white one?

A black bottle stops sunlight reaching the liquid, and without light algae cannot take hold. That matters for irrigation water, nutrient solutions and anything stored outdoors. The trade-off is that you cannot see the liquid level through the wall, so most users fit a sight tube or simply check through the top lid.

Can I use it for drip irrigation fertigation?

Yes, it is a common choice for fertigation. Connect the bottom valve to your injector or dosing pump suction line, add a filter, and the dark wall keeps the mix free of algae that would otherwise block your drippers. Confirm that your fertiliser is compatible with HDPE if it is acidic.

Is this black tank food grade?

No, the C185B is graded for chemical use, so use it for irrigation, fertiliser, wash water and similar liquids. For drinking water or food products, pick one of our food-grade IBCs and shade it, or keep it indoors. We can advise on the best option for your application.

What does delivery to Tzaneen cost?

This black IBC ships at 58 kg, so delivery is R950 in the 30 to 60 kg band. Tzaneen is close to our Polokwane base, so it usually arrives within 1 to 3 days. Add enough to reach R20,000 including VAT, such as a few extra tanks, and delivery is free.
