Many people use the tubs as sumps.

Here is pwhitby's setup:

I have a rubbermaid sump, for my 75 gal. reef-ready tank. I put 2 50 gal. tubs in side ea. other, so it won`t boe out. Tubs cost 12$ at lowes. thay work nice!

I use 3 x 28 gallon BRUTE rubbermaid trashcans plumbed in series for my sump/refugia/DSB. Cutting plumbing holes is pretty easy with a dremmel tool and they work great for me.

I use two Rubbermaid tanks like pwhitby. One acts as a settling chamber. Which I then just vacuum out every couple months. The other is a refuge growing macro before returning to the tank.
