Shrunken waste tanks!

Amid my floor repairs, I have exposed the waste tanks and was surprised to see that they were heavily collapsed in the middle of both black and gray tanks. I don't think it is such a big deal with the gray, but the black is collapsed to a point where the top and bottom are nearly touching! Looks like time for maybe a tank replacement. This project is turning into a money pit!! But I think it will be worth it.

Any suggestions for a tank replacement? It is an "L" shaped tank out of a 31' Center bath. I am trying to come up with a good configuration that won't break the bank!

I am not sure if either of those 2 tanks are still available.

I will check tomorrow and let you know.
