Should have checked for spelling . Sorry
Don't worry, he only has a public school education. He had to read it six times to realize it was misspelled.

Mine get fat when they want to. It's interesting because my Melanurus and Leopard both pick at GHA some also.

This guy was so shy in the beginning, now as soon as food hits the water, hes a wild child. Never seen him pick at GHA though. That'd be cool
 
By chance odd question lol if I have a bucket that has this icon on the bottom its a Leaktite 3.5 Gallon Translucent Gray Bucket from Home depot do you think it is reef safe to store saltwater for an AWC system?

This is the icon on the bottom lol

I actually did cut off my finger partially when I was 11 (not all the way through the bone though luckily lol). My grandfather for Christmas got me a fillet knife for Christmas also with my brother & cousins. Of course we decided to go outside and use the knifes unsupervised to cut up some sticks and make tools. The worst part is we were in the mountains of North Carolina over an hour away from any hospital. They actually glued it back on 🤣

The scar used to be worse but you can still kind of see it.

I’m sure if that’s the only warnings it should be fine .
 
So you said yep but Google AI said maybe maybe not...

It said its not necessarily food safe although maybe that's because they did not pay for the certification you think? It seems like what I have googled says HDPE is usually safe for saltwater but not 100% sure lol

HDPE pipeline is sometimes used for potable (drinking) water lines. What makes it FDA certified or not is likely going to have something to do with either the purity of the source materials or, the most likely case, the disinfection procedure of the bucket prior to sale.
