32 G. Brute @ Amazon for $ 20

[Smotz]

Not sure if this belongs in this section but..

Amazon has a yellow 32G brute trash can for $ 20 shipped with Prime.

Reviews say that people use this for aquarium water storage.

+1 are these safe? I thought in order to be food safe they need to have a fork and a cup or something on it..

i saw that. "A standardized system of symbols is used on plastics to indicate their appropriate uses around food. A symbol depicting a cup and fork means that the plastic is safe for storing food, and is therefore a food grade bucket. Other symbols include radiating waves meaning "microwave-safe," a snowflake meaning "freezer-safe," and dishes in water meaning "dishwasher-safe.""

i bought the yellow brute. there is no fork and knife on the brute anywhere. is anyone using this?

 

[bertyboy69]

I bought one and im going to use it , guna fill it with ro and test for phosphates after a a day or so just to be sure

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Reefs

 

[spacenyc]

thanks for the link

bought two, thanks and now amazon has an online $10 off after I ordered

 

[empire]

I haven't used these yet I'm still worried about them leeching phosphates

 

[Smotz]

i've been using mine. so far, so good.

 

[Paolissimo]

I only stored water overnight, and when I tested the water after 24 hours, it had zero phosphate.
