Black Rectangular Tub: Versatile and Durable Storage Solution

Upgrade your water and nutrient storage capabilities with our sturdy Black Rectangular Tubs, available in 160L and 220L sizes. These multifunctional tubs can even be repurposed as fish tanks if desired.

Please note that lids are not included, but suitable alternatives, such as corflute plastic with gaffa tape, can be utilised.
