I haven't rolled my IO Sea Salt buckets for over a year, but that may change ....

Yup! Rolled mine every single time. Regardless of proof... you have to think that some elements may be heavier than others!

It makes prefect sense to do so, things settle. It was a truck how many times and has been upright for even longer. Seems like good practice for sure!

We use both Instant Ocean and Reef Crystals but only from their 200 gal mix boxes. Because it comes as 4 bags of 50 gal mix in one box you get more salt mix for your money (appx. 200 gal instead of 160) and no rolling required. Same price

Not here its not. I also use the boxes, but I pay more for a box than a bucket.

Same here. Boxes are more expensive!

Yup, boxes way more than a bucket. Almost twice the price in some cases. But I can't complain cause the lfs sells IO buckets for probably the cheapest price in Canada. However, since I use 55g barrels for my water changes, the bags would make more sense time-wise.

Same. I use a 50g barrel and have it marked for one bag. No measuring salt. I also get good pricing on the box, so works out well for me.
