My current bucket is 19231

Thanks!

Just random numbers to mess with you????

how are they on the lid?
printed? stamped? molded direct into the plastic?

if they're printed on the lid i'm guessing that they're definitely some type of batch tracking.
if i remember i'll check my 200 box at home for similar numbers.

My current bucket is 19231

just a guess, but i'd say it was filled on the 231st day of 2019. which google says was August 19. anyone have a number over xx365?

if it's a batch tracking number, it should be on every box/bag/bucket of IO i would think.

It is black numbers on a small white label attached to the lid.

I do know red sea has a 10 digit number . If you mail them that number they will send you test results. I have no idea about IO
