I'd wouldn't do it. Soup scum from your bath tub would contaminate the water. Why not borrow some buckets, bins or garbage cans from other hobbyists in your area? Someone may even have a stock trough...

Thats what I am using too. I used to have a wireless adaptor for a gaming console but it only lasted a few months before dying. The Powerline adaptor has been working now for a couple of years.
