Sterilite 66 qt. sump/refugium

[tarhull87]

I just got a 66 qt sterilite clearview container. I filled it up with water and the sides bowed out a little bit.
Has anyone ever built supports for this kinda thing?
I have a 10g glass tank but it seems a little small.
My main tank is 38g, what do yall think?

1" boards will fix it fine or 2X4s around the middle.

Alright, thats what I had in mind. I was just thinking someone else might have done it and had a better idea.

i started off with one of those but i noticed it bowed alot and kinda flimsy so i went with a sterite 72 blue container the sides hardly budge when full

I put 1/2" thick wood pieces around the lip of the container and it holds the bow in pretty well.
