I use plastic mortar tubs(3 gallons), they are quite sturdy.
For My Jobiensis enclosures I just pick them up and spill them into a bucket then throw the bucketed water out.

I recently built a pretty large enclosure and went with the largest mortar tub(5 gallons). This sucker is big, lifting it out ain't gonna happen!
I drilled a hole in the bottom and ran a hose through the side of my 8' trough. For this one I just pull the plug and it drains into the bucket.

I'm going to do this drain system to the other two aswell.
Anything to make water changes easier, I drain and change water at least twice a day!

Another great option is $1.00 black plastic oil changing pans available at auto parts stores, they're strong, deep and easy to lift!

Keep in mind my water basins are at hip level and only half full!

Mike
