Cody when you pick out your tub. Turn it upside and hold up to the sun or bright light. Look for one that you can't see any light coming through indicating a thin wall or air bubble

they do work great but i prefer the tuff stuff tubs a lil more. they're cheaper and more plyable so you can twist em and bend em into tight places. i have a 40 gallon as my sump right now.

Just how plyable/bendable are the tuff stuffs? I like the price compared to rubbermaid, but I want it to be fairly rigid....

Menards can get these for about 10 buck cheaper than TSC... but TSC has them in stock menards has to order....

I am plumbing two tanks... a 54 corner and a 38 into one of these to act as my sump... I think I may go with a 100gal... not sure just yet though.

$75 for my rubbermaid tub.... it's a 150g if I recall......  I paid $150 for it if I recall or something like that

I purchased it for my pond, decided to go a different route

Using a 100g (I think) for my settling chamber.......

I don't think the 150 will fit where I wanted it to go, I think which I why I never took you up on it, as it was slightly larger than the space it needs to go.
