RUB is a Really Useful Box, which is just a brand of tub.

that ikea tub you have there is more floor space than any RUB though. Good find. I hear the 100ltrs they do are pretty good as well, not quite as wide but longer, not sure exact dimensions, I think just under 3' by 18" or so.

Only bigger tubs are from people like vision or pro racks and they charge about 50x as much as ikea..just for the tub. Gaz has some polypropylene pond liners that I think are 4'x2', I haven't found em online anywhere...haven't looked THAT extensively either though. With any of the non-see-through tubs you can always cut a bit out and bolt some perspex on the side.
