Title: Containers for Chemicals
Post by: androo303 on July 22, 2014, 02:15:46 PM
Does anyone know where i can find the twin neck bottles and droppers in the Ottawa area that don't cost an arm and a leg?

I've seen some of the hydroponic fertilizers sold locally come in twin neck bottles. You might want to ask places like B&B if you can order just the bottles through them. You can also find them online, usually from the places like US plastics, but the shipping tends to be more expensive than the bottles themselves. GLA sells 500ml and 1L bottles for $5 and $6, so if you plan to buy anything else from them, it would be a good chance to combine shipping costs. Not sure what you mean by droppers though?

Thanks.

I'm refering to things similar to eye droppers that allow me to count the number of drops pulled from a jar or plastic container when i try to dose certain chemicals (especially Seachem Excel).

Try any pharmacy, I know they carry them for dosing liquid meds for toddlers.
