rubbermaid size

anyone know the inner size of 50 and 100gal rubbermaid stock tanks. Like 6inches under the water line; because i believe they slant toward the bottom.

There is no defined water line. The sides do taper in from the top. The best way to see is to go to where they are sold so you can get accurate measurements for your intended use.

Agreed. It really depends on why you're asking. I have two different ones, both rubbermaid purchased at separate times, that are slightly different in style and size. Also note while they are relatively solid, they do bend and bow ever so slightly. If you're attempting to glue in baffles or something (which is relatively difficult to get the right cut), I'd probably look at alternative ideas.
