Anyone have experience with Tuff Stuff stock tanks as sumps?

Hey everyone. I'm considering using a Tuff Stuff stock tank as a sump. I've heard about the Rubbermaid ones working well, but I haven't heard about the Tuff Stuff tanks. The Tuff Stuff tank size fits my area much better though. Anyone have any feedback on the Tuff Stuff tanks? Thanks!

Description says it works great for beer kegs. So I’m good with it

It should be fine They’re used for water troughs for livestock

Anyone have any personal experience with these? Do they hold up for a long time? Do the sides bend out if they are filled up all the way? Anything else to know about them?

I actually have one of these I bought as a temporary LR holding tank when I was doing a tank re-do. They are tough! I still have it and use it to cure aquascape structures I make using cement to hold rock pieces together. I could see the angled walls making it difficult to create chambers.

With it marked LDPE, I'd say it's safe. It should have the 2 marked on it somewhere also. Same as rubbermaid.

Go with Rubbermaid, much thicker material
