hey, thank you for your reply.

I am going to use sterlite most likely as they are easy to obtain and cheap.

I do have concerns as I was looking into installing maybe a 41q or two, if I install them longways then the heat tape will be covering more area in the tub than if I installed the 41 deep. and also the sides of the 41 sterilite seem kinda flimsy that a big female could push and flex it with it running sideways towards the front. and also almost eliminating a hot and cool end... thoughts?
