Salt Safe Bucket

[Marz]

Hey everyone, question time again. Is there a reef salt safe bucket that I could buy (where, name, etc) that I could take my boxes salt and pour in?
I think it might be easier to measure the salt out this way....

Buy it in a bucket once or twice...lol
I'm sure most of us have lots of extras around...are you coming to the frag swap?

What about the big ALS maintenance pail? It should be safe as well it's like what $5 or so with a lid. But ya buy the big batch in a pail and your good. Mine came with a t shirt that makes me look like Arnold

Boxes salt correct? They make 50 gallons of salt water. Need a 50 gallon drum. I think Pulp is good at locating them here. Not sure if he is going to London gathering, but i will be and could bring it if there is on locally to us. They are pretty pricey in stores I think, but go for $40-50 used. I think there is a guy in Blenheim that has some for sale that I drove by. I will try and have a look tomorrow on my way to work.

I was thinking of coming, but have way too much going on this month. I'd but a bucket but already have a new box...does this stuff have a shelf life?

what size pail/bucket are you looking for? I have food grade pails that are 3 us gal size. will that help?

 

[Marz]

The box is approx 56 lbs so I will have to do the math

Go to your local tim Hortons, ask them for their fondent pails. they are exactly 3 us gal and they are food grade. so easy for mixing your salt, I use instant ocean and their directions are for us gal. you might need a couple but they just throw them out.
hope this helps.

Would love to meet everyone.
