what type of container do you use to mix/store your saltwarter in...
looking for brand and size....

reason being that i heard some of those types of containers auctualy start to break down over time and release "stuff" into the water...

thanks,

I use a Rubbermaid Brute garbage can.

You need something that is food grade and for a reason I can not explain, these garbage cans are food grade.

I have been using for more than a year with no problems-

"Buffalo Hotel Supply Inc."
375 Commerce Dr, Amherst, 14228 - (716) 691-8080

http://www.ebhsonline.com/product_li...um=68&start=10

55 gallon for $46.50 (plus tax)

same thing as the brute but a little less expensive, hope that helps.

if you live close to one of their locations, you can just pick it up and pay for. Make sure to call first to make sure that have in stock.

Don't quote me but I would imagine that it is indefinate. There wouldn't be anything in it to contribute to the break down of the water chemistry.
