So the chambers I use are 24" tall but this is essentially how I set them up.

Here is a lovely thread on this-

-It's a 'bit' long, but the first few pages sum it up pretty well...

Closed chambers work best with the bulbs inside. That tub won't allow for that.

They need to be built.

I know this might not be what you wanted to hear, but if you take the time and trouble to design and build your own, or have it built, the results and ease of use are enormously better. Trying to retro-fit a plastic tub or glass tank has never worked well for me even with a monumental effort. By contrast a true closed chamber does all the work for you.

Also, PLEASE read this BEFORE you buy. It might save you from a lot of tears and frustration:
