Tupperware sump

My refrigium baffles broke a while ago and I read on here that you can make one out of tupperware that you connect together. What do you do to connect 2 tubs together to make them water tight?

I imagine you would be able to join two rubbermaid bins together using bulkheads and PVC as long as the surfaces seal properly.

Just use pipe large enough to permit ample water flow between the tubs.

I have heard of rubbermaid tubs buckling under presure thogh so you migh want to be careful there. When I do my water changes I use a large rubbermaid tub. When filled to the top it looks like it wants to bow outwards, only when full though. I usually use it half full which is enough for my 15G water chage every week.

I read here that Roger was using another type that can hold up to the pressure.
