Shorter Mono-tubs for PE/APE

My European friend has shorter tubs that he isn't using and wonder if anyone has any experience using shorter tubs. He doesn't want to go dub-tub, but wonders if he will experience problems with FAE later on due to shorter height of the tub. He says they would be perfect for PE and APE because they rarely grow very tall. The tubs have a large base and are roughly 12" high. They are the BRUTE tubs made by Rubbermaid.

Should be fine. Just follow proper procedures and use em as mono's.

Would this tub size work well with other cubes as well?

Most varieties will grow too tall for these tubs. You have about 5 inches for growth... cutting it close imo. If need be you could use a litter box liner as a lid when needed, to allow for growth. That was one solution I thought of, before my friend decided to go with APE.

I've made "mono tubs" out of juice pitchers before. Use the same concept as bigger tubs except smaller scale

With a 13 in tub and a 4 in sub I'd have about 9 in. Is that still cutting it to close?

Or just use less substrate.

If your really concerned about it, use less sub. Shit didn't even cross my mind.
