caution
i would use caution trying to waterproof these plastic tubs. you may be able to seal the hole without any water inside the tubs but when you add water, i find the bottoms of these tubs seems to warp as it molds to the weight of the water inside the tub. They were not really made to hold water but they do. However you may find that as the bottoms warp under the weight of the water, your watertight marine goop seal may not be so watertight after all which means you may have 50g on your floor if the seal breaks .......... when you are not around.

Have to agree with chin lee on that one - forgot you were trying to do this with one of the wheeled versions. Save yourself the headache, grab one of the rubbermaid brute garbage cans... I've got a 35g one I've been using for almost 2 years now.

Yep, good point. The area is pretty solid though so I think I will still give it a try and test it with some freshwater first on a concrete floor. If it leaks I will go with the garbage bin. This tub fits nicely under the tank so it is my preferred route if it works.
Thanks, Ed
