<div class="moz-cite-prefix">the largest polycarbonate container,
item 107-1222, 14,78'' x 15'' (roughly 37 x 38 cm ) costs 328.90
U$ (293,45 EUR). The borosilicate jar I recently purchased to
accommodate our new black-tip reef shark measures 120 cm x 20 cm
(approx. 47'' x 7,90'') and costs 291,00 EUR.<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Apparently the polycarbonate containers
are more expensive then high quality borosilicate jars. Why not
preferring borosilicate ?</div>

collection has been experimenting with these in the
collection for short to medium term storage. They seal
fairly well, are relatively inexpensive (and light to ship)
and have the added benefit of being clear so that you can
see contents and fluid levels. They come in various sizes
and tack fairly well:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">I need to order some
buckets for storing larger fluid-preserved specimens in.
Eventually we would like to go to stainless steel
containers, but right now that’s not an option…. Anyway, I
am wondering if polypropylene buckets are acceptable in
terms of archival quality (I realise they will eventually
fail) and if not, if anyone has a better recommendation for
a relatively cheap solution?
