If you can get the DeadSeaWorks I'd be interested in my own 50lb bag.
Are you willing to help a fellow reefer out and ship to the island (at my expense of course).
Or I could possibly pick it up on Sept 7th.

because people with more brains than you or I have taken the time to analyze these chemicals and put their reputation on the line to say that it is safe for our tanks. Thousands of reefers are following this method by Randy:
