    Moving to CR and need to find buckets with lids - salt buckets work perfect!
    Ultimately I need 10-12 x 5gal buckets by early next week (May 29th) to move a 72g (approx 50 gallons)
    Let me know what you have -would pay cash or have some frags:
    Rainbow Frogspawn (multi-colored)

    Green pocillopora[​IMG]
    Cabbage Leather[​IMG]
    Also have Green Elkhorn.
    Thanks!

    Sometimes referred to rainbow frogspawn - has both colors throughout colony and even on an individual head.
    Would frag for $20/head.

    I have like 6 buckets but only two have lids. I would let you borrow them if you returned them after the move. I live on the SE side of CR by cottage grove

    I hope this info is useful,
    In West Liberty, there is a market that you can buy all the buckets that you can carry for only a 1.00 a piece including the lid, they have several hundreds... Brand new & clean....

    Any one wants the details let me know.....

    Great info!
    Do you happen to know if the buckets are 5 gallon?  Diary Queen sells smaller buckets (2-3g) for 50 cents - of course they were used for food and need rinsed.
    Thanks!

    Talk with Hung at Sea Of Marvel. Maybe he will let you use his or you can rent them maybe.

    Eric5 Gallon , they had Turkey Flavoring in them, they have been high pressure rinsed with hot water, when I get them I just scrub them with a little vinegar & Ive not had any concerns... Won't beat that price in a store... Plus it's nice having a spot to get those types of things..

    That's what started this - was set to work with Hung and pay him to store the tank for a week (I was maintaining) and he backed out for some reason last week - odd as I've done business with him since 2003.
