Awesome Tub

Just wanted to give a thumbs up to this tub. It's a Rubbermaid Roughneck, and has what we need. The sides are totally opaque. The lid is silvery, and you can't see through it... but plenty of light get's through! This is my dream tub. The picture is of a 40 gallon tub, but I snagged the 50 gallon.

Just so you know, the 50 gallon version has about 4.75 square feet of surface area. 4 inches of substrate is just under 12 gallons!
Anyone think I could pull off a 1 lb flush?

That's what I was saying makes this tub so great. The tub itself is light proof. The lid LOOKS lightproof and is opaque, but plenty of light for growing mushrooms goes through. And actually, the pic doesn't do it justice. The tub is blue and the lid is this silvery color. Very attractive I think

I used that sized tub my first go, it was a bit to much for me, I did pull over a pound out of her though, rye spawn mixed with pasturized straw.
I like this bin the best:  Ive done 10inches of substrate, got a pound with pink buffalo out of her.

Be careful though, although it appears completely opaque is probably isn't. I've used containers that looked like no light got through but even if a little bit shows through the sides you'll get pins all on the side and bottom, lowering yield. I'd still use a thick black trash bag as a lining, and just-in-case.

You're right, I can shine a flashlight through it. Looks like I'll be using black plastic... makes cleanup easier anyway. Thanks for the heads up.
