Open salt bucket storage comments ?

+1 keep the lid on tight.
I had a bucket go hard on me when I was first starting out, but you can still use the salt from the hard bucket, you just need to chip the salt out with a knife first.

Oh, and keep the lid on. Done.

Maybe double lidding is the way to go.

I've left buckets lying around forever, never had any harden up.

I think we should have a new word that the reef community can call their own.. "doublelidding" The practice used to MAKE SURE your salt won't go hard. This replaces the seldom used "baggonit" process in which a garbage bag was put in the bucket...

I've had my bucket open about a year. I just use a different measuring cup and always close the lid up tight when I'm done. Salt is still loose.

OK then, I guess all those horror stories I've read are from user error

Thanks all, I feel better
