Shelly,I use 6 gallon buckets but no real difference.I use 3 single packs per bucket for my white rice,wheat,pancake mix etc.I also use Gamma seal lids,they have a seal on the bucket side and the center section is threaded on and has a seal.Hope that helps and the seller was excellent.Oh,and have several buckets ready because once opened they start working.Prepping is smart.

I used it in a 5-gallon paint bucket. Perfect fit. Drill holes on the bottom and sides of the bucket surround with gravel and place in the pit.

This model can be used with either 1gallon or 5 gallon buckets...I wouldn't recommend any can size smaller than a 1 gallon.

These should be sized by how much air you use. This is a small unit sized for one device . For a whole 60gal system I would look at the 1/2" or better

Yes. I have a 5gal bucket as a sump with 1.5" pvc out of my pump. plenty of room.

I had this pump go from a five gallon bucket to 8 ft. above that, so 6 should be just fine.

they have sealers, but i just use an iron. place bag in bucket and fill , leaving enough room to seal, about 4-5 in. place a wooden dowel under bag, and seal from BOTH ends leaving a small opening to put in the oxygen absorbers. push out remaining air and finish sealing. the bags will end up looking as if there is no air in bag.

I cut through sterilite tubs, so you should be able to cut through a 5gallon bucket if it's a thinner one.

I am 99.9% sure it will fit in a 5 gal bucket with the lid on but will double check tonight and re-answer in the morning.

i have not figured that one out yet, what i have been thinking of doing is place a small submersible heater in the 5 Gal water bucket or if you come off a spicket you could use a heat tape then wrap it with foam insulation and gorilla tape.hope this helps you.

I don't have a 5-gal to test, but I doubt it. Mine houses a compressed sleeping bag much smaller in diameter and its a struggle to get it in.

I've found that regulators are very standard in size and will fit any portable oxygen tank. There could be exceptions, but if so, I haven't experienced them. The key thing is being sure the regulator you buy has the "flow" options you need.

You need to use O2 absorbers like these. Oxy-Sorb 3x 10-Packs (30 total) Oxygen Absorber, 2000cc The bigger ones are for large bags, and there are smaller ones for smaller bags.

We used 12 5-Gallon buckets and there was still plenty of room. I think in the description or one of the reviews it recommends a certain amount of sand.

Look for a circular or round air stone with a diameter of 4-8 inches, that lays flat on the bottom of the bucket, the ring of air bubbles surround the roots for maximum oxygen flow and root growth.

We used 8 pounds of course multi-colored gravel. This is probably the best acrylic 5 gallon unit. The key is to change the filter often (we use Tetra Whisper Unassembled Bio-Bag Cartridges to save money) Keep the water 1/2 inch from the top to maximize flow and add aeration for O2.
