Any tips for keeping salt dry?

Rice doesn't absorb moisture. It only agitates the salt in the shaker to break up chunks. Just think if it did: rice in the burlap bags would already be soft. You could put some large rocks in your bucket if you wanted to do that with the bucket.

I just keep the lid on mine clean and tight. The silica gel beads are a good idea. Just make sure they don't some how end up in the tank!
