New 160g Instant Ocean buckets

I guess Instant Ocean has a new pail with a twist on lid..?

Anyone catch a price on those yet or seen them around?

My guess is they wanted to go less than 50lbs for worker comp.

Twist-on lid! Finally, they're thinking! I hate those other lids. The kent ones are a bit easier, but I didn't switch because of the lid

I think I saw it advertised in the Boxing Day sale Flyer for Big Als at $49.00

Heh heh, same price as the 200g but you get less. So thats their angle!

I think the ones at Big Al come w/ a T-shirt too though.

Well, you know it was the air getting into the bucket that was causing all the high alk problems. So they had to design a new lid to fix that.

Jack, from what I read on the US boards, the price remains the same.

jeez, air gets into the bucket I had all the time (I really hated getting those lids off and on) and my alk was super low not high. weird.

Not to worry. I was being facetious. They should add a Maxijet and a T-Shirt to make up for loss salt.

haha, nice one Sam

I guess we can use the T-shirt to mop up the floods or clean the front of the tank
