Sump
 

Is there any problem with running a rubbermaid container as a sump?

I would want to hang my skimmer on it....

Cheers.

Lots of people do with no problems.
Personally I wouldn't fill it too high as those tubs will bulge quite a bit and make me nervous... Still, I've read no horror stories about them splitting. If you have any concerns you could always buy 2 and stack one inside the other and then fill it to give yourself a bit more strength.

Thanks....

I might have to head out to Home Depot now...

This hobby is far too addicting!

If you go with the two rubbermaid setup, you may want to fill the gap between the bottom of the top one, and the inside bottom of the first one. I don't know how well the centre of the top one will do under the pressure of the water, (but then again, you could get lucky, and it will just bow down a little and no real problems... and you do have a second one to catch any leaks from the first :biggrin: ).
