And they are Brute TOTES!

Rubbermaid Commercial BRUTE Tote Storage Bin with Lid, 14-Gallon, Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001HTGD36/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8B2aAb70S3N87

I was wandering the aisles at lowe's yesterday, and came across these. Fantastic color options (i prefer white for all water stuff), and they are rugged as hell.

Definitely not the same capacity as a 44,but the options here are limitless.

Perfect for breeding, quarantine, mixing, nano water changes, you name it. Available from 10 to 20 gallons, awesome alternative to the trashcans.

Bad thing about these is they're rectangle. If you fill them with water, the sides will start to bow

They will bow, but not nearly as much as competitors.

You can also build wooden frames for them to sit in if they will hold water for significant periods of time.

Generally, for the use of quick water changes, etc, they're more mobile than the brutes.

I very much like them for this.
