I do the exact same thing with my enclosures down to the wattage with a dimmer.
The item I use for the basin is one of those plastic boxes taken out of one of these: Sterilite 3-Drawer Organizer - ClearView Wide 2093 by Sterilite , White / Clear Bathroom Organizers - 20938003

It holds nearly a whole gallon of water and is, I think, perfect in depth. Enclosure is an exo terra: 24L 18W 12H

Thanks for the reply.
