What salt mixing container for small h2o changes?

kingfisherfleshy · Dec 6, 2014

Hey guys, looking for a container to mix saltwater in for a small tank (10g)?

I am also wondering if old seachem prime containers (5g) would be suitable for holding rodi water?

Buckets are fine or a small brute trash can

I use a 20 gallon brute trash can with no issues

For a small tank, use a five gallon salt bucket. If you don't have a used salt bucket, pick up one of those orange five gallon buckets from HD.

Wow, 5 gallon buckets of Seachem Prime? That's a lot of Prime. :)

Yes, yes it is. Perk of being in the industry.

I dont see an issue with using it to store RODI water? Does anyone else?

I will be picking up a bucket for water changes from the home depot tomorrow.

I would not use the prime bucket personally. I don't know if there is an issue with it or not but I would rather be safe than sorry, besides a bucket at home depot would be cheap for a better piece of mind.
