Not a poll just a quick question, what is the most common piece of aquarium equipment. To me the answer is short and sweet, a 5 gallon bucket!! I don't care what kind of tank you maintain or how big it is, chances are you have AT LEAST 1 five gallon plastic bucket if not many!!

I was visiting with my daughter this past weekend. She, my wife and went clothes shopping to burn some time and we ended up in store that sells Yeti products. I love Yeti mind you, my wife and I have 4 Yeti cups and keep one with us wherever we go. So I'm looking around and what do I see but a Yeti 5 gallon bucket. I started checking it out, I mean, I am a reefer....I do use/need the best 5 gallon bucket I can get right? The label states, among other things, that its food safe. Awesome, food safe is great after all I am a reefer, I can talk myself into believing that I really NEED this Yeti bucket. One thing I don't see is a price tag. The manager notices me eyeballing the bucket and asks if she can help. First thing out of my mouth, "How much are these 5 gallon plastic Yeti buckets?" $39.99 ;Jawdrop:(;Dead I had to laugh!!

Don't have any idea how long these have been on the market, and I have no doubt that this is THE FINEST 5 GALLON PLASTIC BUCKET money can buy....(pssssst, btw $3.25 at Lowe's) Yeti Bucket.JPG
Come on now, we are reefers here. Our tanks deserve this right?!?!
 
Lol. Slap an ecotech or Neptune logo on it and say it’s made of “special” plastic and the reef community would pay that. :/
 
I've got about $1000 worth of these lying around. Just need to make a nice label and I'll let them go for $29.99!:)
 
And I thought my black DWC hydroponic buckets were overkill and those were $8 bucks a pop hahaha.
