How do you re-use your empty Bulk Reef Supply containers? I currently use them for storage as they are clear and stackable.

I use it to store spent carbon and GFO and when full just throw away

Collecting your old media in it is a good idea.I reuse carbon as mulch on my garden containers.

I use mine to hold the mixed solutions to feed my dosing pumps

I use them to hold change and the nuts, bolts, screws for my projects.

Drilled with holes it's a great acclimation box/ penalty box ( for the bullies lol)

Give them to a friend who puts screened vent holes about the size of a quarter around the top, 2 per side and he uses them for sling(baby) spiders

All my old ones are sent down to our auto repair shop for holding anything small that needs to be contained

I use them for a DIY carbon canister filter, very nice! water coming from one of my drains. You can use as wet/dry too

^ thanks

I'm the queen of repurposing reef stuff.. Man does it pile up! Works GREAT for a fish trap as well! I tie a fishing line to the rim.. Bait it and hold the line from a few feet away.. Then just a cold one , and a good tv show and I'm multitasking lol..When fish goes in I pull down on the string and the magnet allows the jug to pivot so the top is then above the waterline... They never know what hit em!

I use them to store Ca, Alk, and Mg solutions so I always have a fully mixed and ready to go gallon to replace the empties under the stand for 2 part dosing. The more I buy, the more backups I have, though I suspect at some point I'll just start throwing them away to save shelf space.
