For those that have the Rubbermaid tubs for sumps, what do u use for a fuge? I was thinking making something out of egg crate but looking for ideas

Well I was looking thru my stuff and found a heavy duty Rubbermaid style tub that fits the width of the Rubbermaid tub I have for my sump, so I am going to put that in the middle of the Rubbermaid tub and use it for my fuge.

Here is the question i have since I dont want to mess this up.

I will be feeding the fuge with a separate pump something like a maxijet 1200 or such, should I drill lots of little holes in the bottom and let it drain that way or should I drill 2 holes (one on each side) and put in a drain pipe? Or I could tee off the return


I have uniseal's and pvc so I could make it like a drilled tank, just not sure which way to go
