Great for when you want temporary but don't want a huge investment in something that at one point won't be used. These tubs are almost the same size as a 40 gallon breeder. 35"wide x 19"deep x 13"tall. Sorry the pic is sideways but the left is the bottom.

Hey Thanks! That's pretty much exactly what I had in mind but had planned on using melamine. Yours is more practical for my purpose though as it is more than likely going to be a one time use.

I don't think a rack is the most practical thing for quarantine considering that it would have any new additions right next to each other? Maybe I misunderstood something?

You're not missing anything and I completely agree with your logic. It's far from ideal. I have a few dedicated quarantine tanks but with just starting back up in the hobby I've been picking one or two up every other month at the shows so they're going to be used pretty regularly. I don't typically do wild caught but am going to be in a situation in a few months where I may have the opportunity to pick up a few species very difficult to get in my area and am trying to come up with a method of quarantine that's not going to bankrupt me. I can't afford to pick up enough thermostats and single enclosures to cover my potential needs with this trip and I'm out of other ideas. I'm certainly open to alternative suggestions.
