Quarantine your fish!

so many things to take into consideration. That's makes a big difference I might switch for 2 bigger containers

I use the 26L sterilite and the 26 gallon Tough Box for my Qt and for fasting large quantities of fish for shipping.

The ones I usually get add up to about 11 gallons, but I don't fill them all the way to ensure the containers don't bow and break

Are the standard sterilite adiquit, or should I go with the locking lid heavier duty option? Is it better to have a deep or more surface area?

You're scaring me now. I have about 20G in a tall hard plastic container for daphnia and it bows a little. Have you had one break? I don't see any signs of stress other than the bow. It appears fine...so far. I've had it set up the day of the February meeting. I don't see this thing snapping in half anytime soon though.

I've never had a sterilite or Rubbermaid bin break open. Just me experiences, I've used 11, 18, and 24(?) gallon bins. Sometimes filling them almost to capacity.

I think the bins are fairly resistant to bursting. They don't fare so well with impacts. The only bins that I have had that leaked are ones that I dropped (or hit with something by mistake).
