When you make the tea and when you bottle it, glass only. No metal not even on your tea bags. Use a wooden or plastic spoon to fish tea bags out. With your extra cultures (cuz you will get babies everytime) store them in ziplocs with about a cup of your brew. I also compost them because you will have more than you need. You can always share them. I have been very successful with this starter kit. Good luck.

Hi Ken, most people use a 1 gal. wide mouth glass jar. But you can also use stoneware, stainless steel, or food grade plastic containers. Just make sure they have a wide opening on the top or you won't be able to get your culture out. Hope this helps! Eva

I just pour it in, otherwise it wouldn't fit all the food. It's supposed to be food grade plastic, so I think its safe enough.

You need special containers unless you want to seal the jar in an air tight plastic bag but I would not because after time, these bags leak air.

depending on the amount of food, I would use the largest rectangle. For a larger quantity of food I'd use a deeper one.

use a small sewing pin and poke a few holes in a gallon zip lock baggie for storage. You can also do the same with a tupperware type container, poke some small holes in the lid to allow the sand to "breathe".

Two containers, one linear for the rails and the other square. I would label both as large.

I think there are better options out there for you. I would try short wide containers, maybe straight sided vases or perhaps baskets would work, perhaps even wrapped boxes. Another idea would be to invest in a dozen mason pint jars and spread them around with specific utensils in specific jars.

I use a Ziplock bag. It's less bulky. Iit'll be wet after using it, so a plastic bag keeps it from leaking anywhere. Soap containers are annoying to clean.

Karon K got it right. You need to insulate the sides, bottom and top. Cardboard is probably the best. Then seal the lid with metal duct tape. For additional protection of delicate devices, put them in a plastic bag, then wrap with aluminum foil.

I think that kind of container would work well. Better than the bag it comes in, because the charcoal is so fine that it tends to"poof" out when you close the bag & settle on things you don't want having gray or black powder on !

Hello, i either use a 3 gallon glas container or a 5 gallon plastic container. I think the stand will support the gallon glas container but I'm not sure. Lifting 5 gallon glas would be heavy for me.

You can use any type of bottle. They don't hook up to anything. They just sit under the spout. I've used 5 different types and sizes. All work just fine

I would personally just use those 5 gallon jugs for holding water. The container serves it's purpose, but the seal is not rubber. It's some foam textured seal.

keep air out, even a little can turn it into a brick. It is recommended to put stones or other objects into the container to displace the air inside the container.

In fact I would recommend you do the glass container because once you get to the bottom of the bag it gets messy to scoop out of the bag. I used my old BCAA container and that works just fine.

Mine are in a white five gallon bucket. I still feel the most important thing for storage is a somewhat even temperature. My storage is in our 4' crawl space under our home. But...the packaging protects the product so I do not think you need special storage containers.

Actually I use both, depending on the livestock. I've housed baby clownfish in there and used the lid, but I've also ran macro algae with no lid.
