The dips and curves of the plastic make cleaning a bit harder IMO.
I still have to insulate the back and sides to keep the air temps high enough.
They aren't really ever the right dimensions. You either get too short and too tall but a good length, or way too long and too low with a good width.
It's far easier to latch a tank screen top than a tub lid! For the screen, you just use strong clips, but for the tubs I have to use bungees that are a pain to take off and put on.
The temps can be just as hard to regulate, if not harder, since opening the tub lets out all the heat, but opening a tank doesn't seem to release the heat that fast.

Serilite, and Rubbermaid make tons of tubs that are the proper size, and most people who use tubs, use them in a rack system not just simple tubs stacked on top of each other.
