What's the Truth About Toxins From Plastic Buckets
New to the marine aquarium game, I am eager to learn everything I can.
I find lot's of conflicting information regarding the use of plastic buckets and equipment to mix, store and handle water for introduction to my reef. My LFS says it's all hogwash and that he has used new plastic buckets and garbage pails for twenty years with no problem. I have also heard from a few purists who insist on food grade plastic containers cured with salt and chlorine and then dechlorinated.
Considering my tank is half ABS plastic, my salt comes in plastic buckets, my fish come in plastic bags, and my supplements come in plastic bottles, I can't imagine what the problem would be.
What's the consensus at TRT? Anybody have any confirmed bad experiences with plastic toxins?
I look forward to what anyone has to say.
