GSC Containers food safe? (Or tank safe)
 
Just wondering if anyone knows or has used the GSC containers (like the rubbermaids) if they are aquarium safe?

I can't seem to find any info on the web and there is no label saying anything on the container. Anyone know where I can find info about them?

Just says heavy duty resin. Its a 46G dark grey container.

i use roughneck garbage cans from rubbermaid from walmart for mixing my water. even weeks later sitting in them i cant get a testably higher amount of TDS. not sure if that helps or not.

I use the same can for auto top off. I just want to make sure these specific ones are safe. I tried calling the company but they are closed.

Just thought I would see if anyone else has tried them or knows what exactly they are mode of and if its safe.

So probably not going to bother even taking the risk. I think if it were safe it would at least have a label saying what it was made of :lol:

It wasn't cheap and is very tough (much stronger than the usual rubbermaids) but I have a funny feeling it may be made of the wrong kind of plastic.

How common would it be for storage containers to be made of toxic plastics?

its the color thats the most likely cause of contamination from what i have herd or secondly the chemicals used to grease the molds.

Ok, that makes sense. I am going to take it back regardless and use a rubbermaid that I KNOW is fine.

Thanks for your help.
