Who's got the best prices on salt these days (any brand)? (1 Viewer)

I decided to take all but one tank down to prepare for moving and need to make some fresh saltwater to store/cook my live rock in for awhile. I don't have any algae problems but some of that rock is more than 5 years old, from our very first reef tank, so there's quite a bit of crud/silt/detritus I'd like to clear out before setting up the 180 in the new house.

Who's got the best prices on cheap salt these days (preferably southside)? It's been a LONG time since I bought salt! Looking for something cheap since I'll be going through alot of it during the cooking/de-crapping of the rock.

Thanks!

Our sponsor, Monica at Ocean Homes, contacted me and offered to deliver to me the very next day! w00t! Got 400 gallons of Ocean Pure salt at a shweeet price.

Thanks Monica!! Two thumbs up!

Sherri,

When I cooked my live rock I used water from my tanks I took out for water changes. I dunked the rocks in the water a few times to get the loose detritus out of them and then I put powerheads in the container to help a bit more. After a week or so of that I then took all the rock out and put it in fresh mixed saltwater. This eliminated a lot of the detritus and probably saved me a bit of time and money. I have had the same rock in the same water for a while now and there is hardly any detritus on the bottom of the tubs. It seems to have worked well.
