    Bought this at an lfs for like $5 and figured j could use it as a ato container. cleaned and ready to go. just need a pump. only thing is I wanted to add kalkwasser to my system till I can get the money for a full blown doser setup. how would I go about this, with just the 2 lil holes. just a lil bit bigger then a pen.

    edit: also it doesn't open. it's been chemically bonded on all sides.

    How are you going to fill that?
    Can you get it refunded, and buy a suitable container you can use at any big box store, for about $5 or less.

    my thoughts exactly. how am I gping to fill it? lol it was more of "oh look! I think I'll buy it and use it for something" and I don't think I can get a refund because it was one of this "discount table" items.

    I've done similar things, it was only $5. Honestly, I don't think it will work well for that application at all.
