What is a good salt, and where is the best price to buy it?

I use red sea and get it from bigalsonline.com and it coast's 34.99 for 200 gal mix.

Does this price include shipping?

What about a local LFS, I need some tonight.

 

[monica]

No thats not with shipping. Shipping I think is $25-$30. I dont live in houston but in College Station are LFS sells 200 mix for about $129 maybe a little more so I quit getting it from LFS. If you dont have to have a whole bunch just run down and get what ya need and then order some if you can. It will save you in the long run.

Good idea.

Thanks

If you are in Houston you can get the 200 gallon salt mix buckets for 40 bucks. Global sells Red Sea, Oceanic, Kent, and Instant Ocean. Each of the Brands large containers I think cost 40 dollars. I currently use Kent salt but I have heard good things about Instant Ocean as well as Oceanic.

I'm also using Kent (200 gallon salt mix bucket) with good results which I purchased from John at Global for around 40 bucks. However I only have enough for one more water change and than I'm going to give Oceanic a try. Good Luck...

I just mixed-up some oceanic salt I bought from Petco, and its more instant than instant ocean. It totally dissolved without residue on the bottom within 30 min in a 33 gal container. Now, I just have to see if the extra $$$ I spent is worth it. Keep you posted.

City Pets has oceanic 200 gal for $45.00

Last I heard, Fish Land was selling the Oceanic 200g bucket for $40.

I wish I would have know that before making my purchase at Petco, 90 gallon jug for $38.00 :x . Anyway my corals seem to be perking-up after a massive water change. Water looks crystal again 8)

Make sure you read the bucket. Many of the LSF sell buckets but they are labeled as 160 gals not 200. I got a 200 gal bucket of I/O from petco on sale for $35 one day.

Generally, you just have to go to a couple of places and see who on that day has the best price. I find they change the prices often (up and down).
