Okay so I went ahead and bought a 20qt sterilite tub from Wal Mart. I tried to use binder clips to seal the middle part to prevent escape, but they didnt fit to well. Now Im going to try bungee cords, or traveler belts (?). Also the size of the tub can only fit one hide. Is this okay, since I dont have a rack system? Also can anyone recommend a good price thermostat. Oh yeah.... would a UTH melt the bottom of the tub, and how well does it stick to plastic????
One hide is fine in a tub. I keep one hide on my hot sides.
You can buy a $30 hydrofarm thermostat from amazon. And UTHs won't melt the plastic. I've used a few before getting heat tape.
