That clay/silt in the bottom of tanks is nasty stuff. Just ask a cow that has been stuck in it after you get her out. .....and some don't get out.

You might want to add some cinder block or a piece of cattle panel to that trough so when a critter falls in it can get out as that old tub is slick and if they can't get out it will stink that water and could kill an animal that drinks from it when it is contaminated. Ain't much fun fishing a week old possum out of a water trough in 100 degree heat. Then you have to figure out a way to dump the water and clean out the tank. Makes for an Industrial Strength Right Guard day. Hard on the appitite too.

Clorox works wonders on it if you can hold your dinner down long enough to pull the plug on the trough. Even worse when the buzzards have joined in at the buffet.

On the brite side I will be Abel to clean out my pond now that it's dry ! It's got 20 yrs of silt built up , the ranch owner tells me it used to be almost 20 ft deep but it only holds about 8-10 ft now when full ! If you can get to the tank before it dries, a dragline works pretty good.
