Which would you build for your corns?

I am in the process of getting materials for building a hatchling rack. My questions is this do you guys think I should use for the tubs?
sterilite 1752-6qt 14 1/2"L x 8"W x 4 5/8"H
Sterilite 1754-15qt 17"L x 11 1/8"W x 6

Which would you use? They are about the same price. I want to build something that they can stay in until they gointo there rubbermaid 2221 tubs which I hope will be good for the duration. Thanks,
-Matt

I used the 6 quart. I made a hatchling rack that holds 36 of the 6 quart and an adult rack that holds 10 of the 28 quart.
I will probably be building another adult rack pretty soon.

Do you take them from the 6qt directly to the 28's? I have 2 animal plastic s11's for them as adults....Thanks,

I take them straight from the 6 quart to the 28 quart.

How old or how many grams are they when you switch them over? Thanks for the help,

Nothing that specific. When they begin to look too large for the 6 quart I switch them. Some take longer then others.
