A drilling fluid treatment tank has been invented that can be used for both water- based drilling fluid and for polymer-based drilling fluid. As such, the tank can be employed to manage the fluid from spudding to rig release, when the borehole is complete. The tank may include walls for containing liquid drilling fluid, weirs spaced along the tank dividing the tank into a plurality of compartments and a liquid passage positioned adjacent an upper edge of each weir permitting liquid to flow from compartment to compartment and a means for providing conversion between use for solids settling, use for stripping drilling mud and use for polymer- based drilling mud pre-mixing. The tank may be substantially self-contained including, for example, fluid handling tanks, pre-mix tanks and polymer storage tanks, and possibly also pumps, pump controls and fluid circulation lines.
