How many buckets do you have?

[Camshaft Ramrod]

I'm sure many of you have gotten to that point, 5 gallon buckets scattered throughout the house, stashed in away places. Whether you use them for water changes, moving fish, storing aquatic paraphernalia, or washing your car, I know you have at least one somewhere. Even you lucky MFKrs with fish too big for buckets have some. So count em' up!

Poll excludes: jugs, coolers, and small, odd shaped car wash type buckets, flat backs (pretty much anything not completely cylindrical and 4-7 gallons)

I'm sure you all know the kind I speak of, but just in case;

^Sounds like you got the hookup! I worked at a large scale bakery for a bit and got my hands on a bunch of strawberry filling buckets. My tanks smelled delicious for two weeks strait.

My favorite are the blue, 7 gallon, oceanic salt buckets.

 

[Toby_H]

I have 3 orange ones and 2 white ones...

I have a stock of orange items that are used for aquarium concerns only. When I hve one of those "ooops" moments orange towels, bucket, etc stand out very clearly ;-)

I also have a stash of 18 gallon rubbermaids used for transportinjg fish and storing fish items...

I only have about 5-6, partly because I've broken a few and partly because I only use those to move my small fish. I mostly use big rubbermaid tubs to my guys. I have gone through several of those due to breaking, us cutting them up for temporary sumps, or them ending up being used for random purposes that cause me to deem them unfit for further fish use. I used to be set if any tank broke. This is causing me to think about investing in a few more just in case.
