Re: [GSAS-Member] moving aquarium from Seattle to Lynnwood

One more thing on buckets with lids... make sure the lid has a water-tight 
seal.  Some of those buckets are used for transporting dry contents (cat 
litter, detergent, rice, etc).  They don't have a nice rubber ring inside 
the lid.  They're not so good.  Water sloshes around, gets all over your 
car... we learned this the hard way while transporting seawater for brine 
shrimp hatching.  Once we switched back to a good lid, all is well.
