Cheap Reef Crystals?
 

Anyone know of a place to get cheapish Instant Ocean Reef Crystals? Right now I paid I think 60 bucks for three bags that can mix roughly 50G. Anyone know of a better price somewhere?

I picked up a box of four bags to do 200g for $75 at Big Als... I hate the place, but my regular store had none in stock. The store I use charges $65 for the three 50g bags.

Hmmmm sounds comparable. I wish I could find somewhere there was a bit of a break though.

Have you tried Golds? Denis will beat any price out there... I would call him and ask. I was close to BA's when I grabbed the salt, or I would hae gone to GOlds instead to be honest. It is just darned hard to leae there with just salt, if you know what I mean.

Go to Golds, it is $60 for 160gallon bucket. It is the best deal out there.

You're telling me. Went in today for a scraper blade and left with an angel.

Gold's is a good place for salt as well as anything else you may need.

I got 2 boxes 200gal box $64.99 from ocean city yesterday !

+1 Golds sells the pale for $60 and it does 160 gallons.

Why are you actually using Instant Ocean salt? Is it just because it is cheap? You can get a 5 gallon bucket of H2Ocean salt for 80 dollars at Elite Aquatics and this stuff works great.... All of the trace elements are there, unlike IO where you have to add most of this stuff which can cost a bundle and it actually maintains your pH at 8.3 which IO and many other salts can't come even close to. I would like to hear some opposing views to this.

Thanks

My IO allways has PH 8.3, and supplement MG and CA, cost, about $20 to do 6+ pails with chemmaster's suppliments
