    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Does anyone know where rack makers get their tubs?

Hello all,
I am needing a custom size for someI have a rack that was made for Sterilite 23Lx16.25Wx6H, which is way to big for my juvenile bp's. Does anyone know where I could get something like this? Also does anyone know where the big rack makers like Vision or TGR get their tubs made?
 
Most rack manufactures use existing tubs on the market, usually sterilite. Some don't provide tubs and advise which ones to get which you can pick up at Walmart/Target type places.
I believe Vision and Freedom Breeder offer their own branded tubs, I do not know if they manufacture them or where they procure them though.
 
Jonathan have you tried running a search on Amazon for the size you want?

Those are the Sterilite 28 qt tubs. I think the 16 and 32 qt tubs are the same height which is why you can find racks designed to accept both of those sizes.

When my little noodles were at an in-between size I used the Sterilite Large Clip Box containers to accommodate them. It's not tall so you'd need to keep the lids on and put the box back in the rack so it sit on the heat tape. Even though it's shallow it provides a nice amount of floor space and mine did fine in them until they were ready to move to a 32 quart rack.

Hello thank you for responding! Ive looked pretty much everywhere for them. For some reason i had a brain fart and totally forgot i could just leave the locking lids on them! Haha

Vision makes their own tubs, and they are much higher quality than Sterilite and Rubbermaid. Unfortunately for the OP they make a tub to replace the Rubbermaid 28 qt (23 x 16 x 5.75) but not the Sterilite 28qt.
