I use something pretty similar to that for flowering except mine don't have wheels. Also I don't know if the blue ones are light tight. I had to test a lot of the sterilite ones before I found one that was sufficiently light tight.

Anyway, so far I have not had any leaking or splitting problems. When the totes are full I do notice the sides stick out from the water. If I lift the top off, I have to push the side back in for it to fit under the lid; but that only happens when it's full of water.

Good luck.
