who knew Folgers could be so sweet, LOL

i'm not using those bins anymore either, i found some new ones for prototype #3, almost the same footprint but they hold 27 quarts.
actually 5 gallons fits comfortably with some room to spare, plus they're made of black plastic so no light leaks, plus, they're available at Lowes, which is a store like Home Depot so they're really easy to find. another plus is they come in several sizes and depths, i'm using one of the smaller ones for a bubble cloner
i'll put pics up when i get there, i don't want to get ahead of myself here
