All the main DIY centres stock rubber cement buckets up to 60L or maybe more

I have 2 60L buckets I used for my large bogwood piece, cleaning sand, transferring fish etc, I think they cost me about £10 a pop

gosh thats a big bucket - same size as my tank! I know plecos need driftwood, taking it out for a while wouldnt affect him would it? He's always underneath it munching on the wood, never see him eat anything else actually. I have a very small piece I found on the beach that I could clean and put in temporarily?
