I am gravel vacuuming and i am using a 5 gallon bucket to siphon the water into. This bucket has been used numerous times for holding car wash soap, so is there any way i can clean it to make it safe to hold water that will be going back into my tank????? Thank you sooo much.

Go buy a new bucket. They are like $5 at Home Depot.....

Burt:)

Also :iagree:
 
Grocery store bakery and deli departments are another good place to look. They get buckets full of frosting, fruit filling etc... Just ask them to save you a few. They even come with tops. Just wash them out real good with hot water.

Personally, I think $5 for a stupid bucket is robbery, especially when you can get them for free.

Is this a part of some strange work out routine? Are you trying to grow muscles by lifting buckets full of water, or are you on a quest of building stamina by running with them buckets back and forth? :nilly:

I think that you should get yourself a Python hose and make waterchanges easier on yourself. Oh, and this will alos eliminate the dilema of which bucket to use ;)

Couldn't agree more......Once i bought a Python i won't even think of using buckets again.........makes water changes SOOOO much easier..........

:iagree: Fish watching is too much of my daily zen. I got a python and found my place of peace.....

Seriously, I got a python, and buckets are only used for holding large stones from my tank before I vacuum.
