I used something very similar to that some years ago. It worked well but it was in my garage which had 2 issues. First, in SW Florida it's WAY too hot in the summer. I'll be darned if I'm going air condition the garage and I tried a chiller but it ran all the time in a room that gets to 100 degrees! Second, lot of my tools and other metal stuff near the tank started to get very rusty, very quickly. But on a solid stand inside or in a more temperate climate, it should work just fine.

I don't use one as a frag tank, but do use a 100g rubbermaid stock tank as the sump for my FT. IMHO, it's pretty much perfect for the task. Can't leak or break, at least semi-insulated from the basement floor
