transporting water

[clarimore]

without buying g new 5 gallon buckets, is there an acceptable trash bag to line my buckets for a moving live rock/ coral?

for transporting coral, depending how big you can get away with the Styrofoam boxes. if attached to rock, i would say a regular UNSCENTED bag in your bucket to protect from scratches should suffice. temperature is more important though. make sure its stable and within range.

If the buckets have not carried any toxic items, they will just need a rinse with vinegar and water and should be fine.

And I'll add that the list of "toxic items" also includes bleach. I wiped out one of my tanks after using a container that had fresh bleach residue in it during a water change, and I didn't notice until after the damage had been done.

Clear bags for a recycling should be safer than black garbage or white kitchen bags.

I've used black unscented for a move twice now with no ill effects
