Mixing salt water

[M Stump]

I have used those blue plastic containers that the Dollor Stores sales to mix my salt water in. After a month or two the inside of the container gets a white film on it. I usually just go buy another container.

What else do you guys suggest and where would I buy one. I usually mix no more than 10 gallons at a time.

Not familiar with the blue containers. I use a 5gal paint bucket to mix sw for my nano. As long as your container was initially clean, wiped down with fresh water before first mix, the white film could be undissolved salt that got into the surface. I had a similar condition when I was mixing in a 1gal polycarbonate water container. Even filling with hot fresh water and letting sit for a few hours, still had a white scale. If you suspect it is only salt then you should be fine.
