I would say red sea as well for nicest buckets, but they dont have a rubber seal on them like some other buckets. They use a screw top which is easy to take on and off

ESV. Every Red Sea bucket I’ve ever gotten is broken. They’re super thin. They may have changed the bucket recently but both my buckets from my Ultimate Salt test came in broken

Which brand of salt makes the nicest looking buckets? Easy to open/close and keep sealed?
Curious your rationale for wanting salt based on container?

Most reefers buy salt based on maintaining their parameters.

I agree with PeterC99 most go with closest to their parameters which is why I use Red Sea Blue

I just wanted a cool bucket or if anyone had seen unique packaging, salt will get used either way since I test each big batch and adjust if needed.

I like to use salt boxes. 4 bags mix each around 50 gal which is about the amount I use for water changes,

Aquavitro uses M&M buckets. Extra material on the bottom to prevent breakage, spin top, seal and a lock, great buckets. Only better bucket is the ATM hot salt which is the same bucket but black.

Im in the tropic marin camp. Currently using the bio-actif bucket. Water is crystal clear next morning after water change. I've been debating switching to the pro reef but really have no solid reason to do so...
Mixes fast and clean. Other than price i have 0 complaints about it.
