Thanks for that info. I am sticking to my homer HOME DEPOT BUCKETS for now ( UNLESS YOU KNOW SOMETHIGN BAD ABOUT THE PLASTIC)? and just adding a couple of cup fulls of salt into the bucket of 5 gallon over the next year or so after WAY overshooting the SG. I mean it was basic math with the instant ocean. 10 gallons of salt mix (3 lbs) 1.5 lbvs per 5 gallons would raise the SG to 1.022 in each bucket. I figured when I added it to the tank it would be 1/10 of 1.022 or NEAR 1.002! I have a 90 gallon tank so I figured 100 gallons to make the math simpleWhy I overshot it is beyond me but since it is brackish and I am thinking I have it under control now I wam only adding a few cups every couple weeks now. I thought they were goinig to die the other day. Thanks again for the info on the bad Brute Garbage Cans. They are kind of reminding me of the CYCLE I made the mistake of buying at PETSMART the other day! Shhhhhhhhoooooooottts. 15 bux wasted.
