I read on reef central that they're some guys making there on salt. With store bought salts and additives, and saving a lot of money.
It was in the dit section,plywood biuld.

I used to use Marine Enviroment salt (carried by AI in Edmonton) and it was awesome stuff. 2 Part salt which can be tough to mix for small tanks but really easy for bigger ones with mixing tanks. To save a little money, I switched to Bio Sea (same manufacturer) and was really pretty happy with that but shipping was killing me.
AI is still offering their Boxing week sales (discounts on both of those salts) until the 9th of Jan. Just an idea for you Greg.

As Mindy said.....there isnt a salt out there that you dont need to supplement.....the thing that draws me to H2Ocean(the salt Im using atm) and this Royal Nature salt is the fact that they are both naturally evaporated from sea water....now Im not saying that this is better, but it just appeals to me...now, availability is an issue...I personally am waiting for someone(hint hint) in Calgary to bring some in before I have to buy it from the competition.... Calgarians that dont want availability issues should use either IO(or reef crystals) because every store seems to carry it, or Seachem (or Aquavitro(made by Seachem)), because the distributor for it is here in Calgary.....the rest of us will always have to deal with availability because the simple fact is, its expensive for an LFS to bring in salt.....the only way it makes sense shipping wise is to bring in salt by the pallet......now customer A wants IO, customer B wants KZRB, etc, etc.... it ends up being a lot of money tied up in a product that for the most part sits around for a few months....

Thanks for the ideas but I have already gone ahead and ordered a skid of the Royal Nature. I have a few people wanting some of it and I am hoping to get a few more locals interested. Everyone get's a great deal with introductory pricing.
 From the PM response it looks like I should start stocking it after the initial skid is gone.
