Hatchling Tubs

[FatBoy]

I am going to take a shot at building some hatchling racks. Where is the best (cheapest) place to get the tubs?

where i am its target.

I just picked up like 20 6 qt tubs (sterilite) at dollar general, $1 a piece....

I really want to go with a larger tub, like 12-15 qt. I would like something atleast 18x7x4. My current rack uses 6qt and I have to clean them every 3-4 days, they get filthy fast!!

[juddb]

The 16 qt tubs were like $2 or $3 bucks each (sterilite as well). Good luck.

I made my rack with vision hatchling tubs. I like that the tubs are so long.

Thats where I am leaning, $3.29 each but I also like the length. Beats $9.00 for FB tubs. Not as good as 6qt for $1.00 but I am feed up with 6qt. What material did you use to build this $$$$$?????

Big Lots here has that size for around $2 each.

The material is melamine.

Melamine is really cheap material too, if you hadn't already decided on using that. I was actually looking at melamine at Home Depot and saw that I'd only spend around 30 dollars in just the melamine to make an 8'x2'x2' enclosure...buut I don't think my reply has anything to do with your initial question so I'll just be moving along

Thanks for the imput...I actually haven't decided between melamine or expanded pvc. The melamine sounds cheaper.
