Any idea where I could find a tub that's no longer than 61", no wider than 21", and no taller than 13"? Global Industrial has a container that's 57x20x8 which would be perfect, but it's $120 shipped. Kinda expensive for a cheap plastic container. Unfortunately the rubbermaid long stick tank is too wide...
 
I don't know where you are located but any hardware store or general goods store in the developed world should have what you need. Though it won't be near 60" long at that height.

I have used storage containers in the past without issue. Or make you own out of glass or acrylic.
 
I think buying acrylic or glass panels at that size will cost more than $120, no? What is the tub for?
 
go to tractor supply, or a livestock/farm type place. they'll probably have a cheap plastic tub like that for watering big animals--horses, cows, pigs, etc.
 
Finally found one, it's a plastic Christmas tree box made by the company Iris. 52" x 20" x 13". It's perfect, bought it from AtHome for $30
