Sumps (Rubbermaid)

[bladeruner143]

I was wondering which, if any of you, are using one of those Rubbermaid containers as a sump? Do you need to reinforce them at all? Pics of your sump setup would be awesome!

I have a rubbermaid stock tank. They are super sturdy.

How big is the one you are using Kim? Did you add baffles to it or anything like that? Do you have any pics of it? I'm thinking of using one of these or using a 29G tank and adding baffles to it and I'm just trying to get some information about both setups

I'm using an 18 gal rubbermaid tub as a fuge. I didn't add baffles to it, simply because it's so flexible, I couldn't see them staying in place. Honestly? It's a good ghetto set up...but I would use the 29 gal tank with some plaxiglass baffles if I did it over.

I used the 50 g deep stock tank for a sump. Very sturdy. Never tried putting in baffles. I had a 10g that I used a fuge for cheato.

I am using the 100 gallon stock tank and I didn't add any baffles. I used PVC to keep the return away from the incoming water. I think there is a pic in my build thread.
