Flood Trays

Hi,
Don't know if anyone has done this before. The cheapest 3x3 flood tray I could find was $40 on the net. I was going to build a wooden one. But, I found some rubbermaid tubs laying around that measure 24"x36". I just cut these down to 6" high and added a flood drain kit for $7. I do not know what the tubs cost originally, but I do know they were collecting dust laying around.
Works very well

You can buy 'tubs' made to be 'under the bed' storage that are already about that height. Good use of what you had. VV

I searched and searchedbut could not find anything relatively cheap,. I have no local hydro shop (2 hour trip) so Everything I do is online. Searched and searched. Can you give me a link to what you are talking about?
Thank you!

Lowes, Menards, Meijer, K-Mart, Walmart, etc. Ask your wife to get you an Under The Bed chest. Since your using it for a flood tray the translucence won't matter. VV

check home depot or ace hardware they have utility tubs they are black plastic, used for mixing mortar and other stuff run about 8 bucks and are a heavy plastic i use two for my veg room and the work great just drilled holes for the flood and drain kit and hooked it up to my pump and return to the rez filed them with hydroton and plugged it in works great

You can use kitty litter trays also, dang near anything that can hold water can be turned into a fllod tray
