Yup I have been using rubbermaids in this fashion for months. Still don't have a tank. Seen lots of good deals here but not having a car sucks. So I have been using rubbermaids from Target.
+1 put a little LR, heater and powerhead and you should be fine in any container whether its a tank or rubbermaid...maybe invest in a little prime just in case you dont have enough rock to keep up with biological filtration
Cool, sorry I didn't think to offer it sooner. Gonna move the 40 breeder rack setup I was building down to Jerzey since I am moving into a smaller place and had forgotten I had this aio I got to house frags and a pair of clowns. Still hoping for something bigger and keeping my eyes peeled.
