Default Struggling with salt bucket lid?
Found this while trying to find something easy to open since the salt buckets lids are just little pieces of craps from hell. Should be a very useful stuff for a lot of us

I used to have a bucket of salinity but threw it away (and the bucket was filled with reefer's best too!) after leaving the hobby. And I don't want to spend $100 on that salt; too inconsistent.

Why are there so many complaints about buckets? The old screw on Instant Ocean buckets were my favorite, but I don't find any of them difficult to deal with.

Yah they are suppose to be but I have had two bad batches and their customer service wasn't very helpful in accepting that bad batches in any salt can happen. So I gave up, moved to another brand.

I don't find them difficult. How about a pair of these? http://www.amazon.ca/fit-Starter-Han...d+strengthener
