Looking for large plastic planter for BIO Filter

Looking for a large plastic planter to create a POND Bio Filter. Looked at the local hardware places with no luck. If anybody knows of a place on the Lower Mainland or in Blaine/Bellingham Washington, would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I'm sure I've seen that pot at either Home Depot or Lowes. I got a nice big pot at IKEA to make a filter.

Learned some ideas to build a Bio Filter on this site.I used a large size battery case. The kind they use for battery storage in boats.Threw away the lid and drilled holes through the handles for a rope carrying sling.
