Good to hear Steve has one. I looked but mine are all 160.

Do you mean 200 gallon pails? or the pails that do 200 gallons of reef crystals? I'm confused!

[Beverly]

Tha 200g pails hold enough salt to make up 200g of saltwater, supposedly. Many of the new salt pails only make 160g or less of saltwater. It's written on the pail, if I'm not mistaken.

So that empty 200 gallon pail, holds approx what 7-8 gallons of water?

[Beverly]

The Rona pails are advertised as 5g which is the same size as a 160g. A 200g pail has 25% more than a 5g which should be 6.25g for the 200g pail. This will mean about a 25% water change with a full pail, though I don't think I can lift a 200g pail full of water very far. At 8.3 lbs./g, that's ~51 lbs for 6.25g Still want the pail, though
