I could probably make myself cut it down to 10 gallons, same length and width as the 18 just way shorter, but cant make myself go 5 gallon buckets.

These 8-13 gallon buckets are what a lot of the hydro guys are using nowadays.

These are basically what Current Culture H2O systems use.

Those aren't roughneck tubs from home Depot like he said. Wjat you posted would work great.

18 Gallon green rubbermaid roughnecks should work out pretty good correct? Looks like Home Depot has a great price on em right now

I did 27 gallon tuff boxes with the yellow lids, because the sides bowed out on the others when I filled them with water.

I cut a round hole in the top, cut the spacer section from the top of some Homer buckets and at it in there to use as a collar. Then I got netpot bucket lids for the plants, these fit right on the collars.

I used foil covered foam board with a hole cut out for the spacer to cover the tub, help insulate it and keep light out of the root zone. Add a layer of panda film above that to reflect light back up.

Example;
