A typical SW fish costs about $20 and up. A typical coral is at least double that. It would only take a single loss to pay for several plastic buckets.
In other words, the potential savings don't justify the risk.

First I do not save any money purchasing salt in the buckets, as I stated, I get 200G boxes for the same price as I can get 160G buckets (31.99 Each) I WANT the buckets as they have screw off lids.
As well as (as I had guessed) there is NO ISSUE with these buckets. Just a few moments to shoot off an email would have confirmed this prior to making such a statement (an I can assure you that the "Salt buckets are dangerous" statement will now propagate for some time) Please take a moment to read the next paragraph:

Dear Randy O
The buckets we use for Instant Ocean and Reef Crystals are food grade buckets approved for storage of food intended for human consumption. I have neither heard of nor observed any ill effects that I could be attributed to storing the salt in the buckets. Like you, I am assuming "someone" heard "someone" say that these toxic vapors could be a possibility a proceeded to propagate the info on nothing more than hear-say.
Thank you,
Bob Studt
