I just received a new bucket of red sea pro and the bucket os split completely. Literally in half.

 

Can i keep the salt in the bag and put it in another bucket?

Should be fine.

 

My biggest enemy with salt buckets and storage is humidity down here in FL... keep it dry and you should be fine.

 

If it starts to get hard and clumpy you know its not sealed!!!

 

Thats why i stick to small bags :)

Keeping white powder in small bags seems like a terrible decision :lol:

 

 

Joking aside, Tron is right. No issues as long as its sealed up tight.

Agreed you can store it in anything as long as it's sealed. Every salt mix I've ever gotten has been in 50g sealed bags. So as long as they're in bags you can leave them in the broken bucket even - or a box, etc...

Lol. Thats funny!

 

Thank you. I will make sure my bucket is sealed.

 

 

I'd keep it in the original bucket but its broken in half. The bag was actually coming out of it. The bag wasn't sealed so I have used an elastic and a clip.

I got food grade bucket with seal top from Depot and stored my 20kg Fauna Marin salt in the original bag in it. It sealed really tight.

What i meant was instead of ordering buckets now i just do smaller 25 gallon bags of reef crystals from amazon prime, which i then put into sealed containers upon arrival ;););)

I use the food grade white buckets from Home Depot, you can buy an special lid that has a gasket on it and it seals pretty nicely.

My reef crystals went hard as a solid rock in sealed buckets. It ws kept in a closet near no water??

 

I'm not a fan of reef crystals for a few reasons.

 

Thats why i switched to coral pro- they don't have smaller boxes or I would have gone that route.
