Rubbermaid ?

Sharie May 20, 2004 11:28 PM

I broke my 30 gallon tank last week while I was cleaning it. I need to find a new, cheap home for my turtle. I was looking in Canadian Tire yesterday and found a 50 gallon rubbermaid container for 20 bucks. Will this work okay? Will it hold that much water without support? I am moving to Toronto in July so I am thinking this will be better for moving around. And would my canister filter for my 30 gal tank work alright with the 50 filled about 3/4s ? Also my heat lamp currently does not have a clamp, I have just put it on a screen over the aquarium. Where could I find a clamp to use ?

Yep, rubbermaids make good cheap turtle homes. Check your local hardware store for clamp lights, I can buy them at Walmart for 6 dollars.
