Do you mean a tank like this?

It doesn't look like Mikey's mixer, but it seems that he got his
start with a plastic tank.
I suspect that the reason you see more metal tanks is because the
metal stock tanks are available at most farm and livestock stores.
It's easily located. The plastic tanks are out there too, but they
don't seem to show up at the common retail stores that most people
will tend to shop. Just a theory.
I keep thinking that there probably large plastic containers that get
used to ship various liquid materials in bulk that could be
resued/recycled. Other than the standard barrels, I don't see many
large plastic containers that can be snapped up on the cheap. Maybe
others are aware of good sources?
On another note:
Has everyone seen you seen YouTube/Papercreters?
