Daphnia tubs
Gary,
They actually sell round tubs in sizes around 30 gallons. Though the
area may not be efficient, they are round so no bowing of the sides
happens. Plus these tubs are a little thicker, so they last longer. I’ve
had mine outside on my back porch (open roof for direct sunlight) for
almost a year and a half now, with no visible or physical degradation of
the plastic. The nylon rope handles however, did break upon picking up,
however those are not really important in this case.
