BA Gone - Now where do I get salt?
 

I was buying my salt on boxing days from BA in Calgary at about $30 a pail. I go through over 600 gallons of mix a year, 4+ pails of Instant Ocean so where is everyone getting/going to get their salt from now?

Have a great day

I get mine from Gold's ... I think it varies from person to person, and from brand to brand... some stores have one brand while others do not, etc...

Gold's for me.

Gold's for me as well.

Although what with the situation with Kent lately, this may be a moot point, but I think you can get Kent up at Pisces.

I've been a Kent user for a couple years, used IO before that, but am now starting to think about switching back or trying one of the others. Not really sure what my next bucket is going to be now. :neutral:

On that note and maybe I should start another thread, but has anyone had issues with ph (using distilled/di water) and Instant Ocean salt?

whats the cost at golds?

I've been wanting to try seachem's new mix, or tropic marin

I get mine from golds reef crystals.The best salt at the best price as usual.

I have been using IO salt and DI water for the last year and have had no problems. My fish love it! Golds and Ocean Aquariums both sell IO salt for $60 a bucket.

Personally I'm keeping my eyes open for seachem's new salts - haven't spotted them locally yet.

Watch the calgary and edmonton forums - semi annually there are people travelling to vancouver for big group orders, much cheaper to get salt then and stock up.

since your all talking about golds they just got a bunch of purple tangs in wich have been real hard to find for quite a while so get them while the gettins good.

I get my salt from Gold also. I never bothered to go to the BA's madhouse on boxing day to save a few bucks. (The huge crowds aren't something I enjoy.)

I think BA's was the only supplier for Tropic Marin in Calgary, so I ordered the new TM Pro from Reef Perfection (Thanks Ruth). Hopefully enough for a year.

I went and i only got one bucket, i should have bought more.

Just a little secret for everyone.

Dennis at Gold never said no to anyone who wanted the Ba's boxing day salt price matched! (I did see lots of people getting their salt there for the same price.)

Thank you for all the great responses. I guess a thanks is not needed on a forum designed to provide feedback for everyone and hopefully everyone gets as much as they put in. However, its nice to say it anyways because I really do appreciate it.
Have a great day
