 I hunted around Brussels looking for a bath tub, but to no avail, it just wasn't second hand bath tub season at the flea markets. So Plan B: I decided that I'd buy big plastic tubs which stack into each other (you can buy them at hardware store or office supply stores). I decided on a vertical design like this http://www.tumbleweed.com.au/WormFarming.aspx . If you're going to go for layers, I like using a 3 layer system, where you have the top 2 layers to interchange between the upper feeding level and lower 'manifesting' level, and the 3rd bottom layer acting as a drainage system.  I hunted around Brussels looking for a bath tub, but to no avail, it just wasn't second hand bath tub season at the flea markets.

 Total cost: about 50 Euro (could have been cheaper but I had to shop at the inner city hardware store, which was an experience in itself as none of the staff spoke English. Trying to ask for / draw / mime a threaded tank inlet was like playing charades in the dark). Total cost: about 50 Euro (could have been cheaper but I had to shop at the inner city hardware store, which was an experience in itself as none of the staff spoke English.
