practicality over fish safety ain't gonna be enough reason not to spend more money on taking care of fish.

I've seen this done a lot, with rubbermaid stock ponds tubs. I would be cautious of the heater melting the plastic.

Hi. I do this a lot. As long as the tub has a food safe logoe on the base, it is ok. Did you see me in the pfk june issue a few years ago. It talks about one of my old molly setups which was just a plastic tub and diy filter.

no i don't think i did, is it on the web

I'd say you are good to go. I did write rubbermaid one time and they told me that although they thought my request was odd, that all of their containers are "stock" safe.
