DIY fuge

[jlinzmaier]

I'm creating a 50 gal fuge for a 180 reef tank.

Just wondering if anyone has any solid literature and first hand knowledge of any rubbermaid/storage containers leeching any unwanted elements or chemicals.

Are any brands more or less likely to leech any elements or chemicals?

i have never heard of rubbermaid totes leaching anything into the SW, but i have heard of them wearing out eventually.....leaking and such. :wink:

Most anything rated for food service use will be good. Look for the NSF stamp and you're good to go.

US plastics sells some nice bins that are a step above the typical rubbermaids.

You could always use a 50 gallon breeder glass tank, too!
