Not sure how the boxes are packed, but if the buckets are still the same as mine then you will open your bucket and find the salt divided into 3 resealable bags. No stupid "rolling" of buckets and what not I see people talk about. My biggest complaint is that id have to use a prybar on some buckets to get them open.
I'm not sure how much good rolling does, but I still do it. BTW folks the $29.99 a bucket for IO at King Ed's is gone, So I phoned there to see what a pail costs now , they told me $34.99, so I went there to Burnaby from Langley figuring it was still a bit of a saving and when I paid at the counter I was told it's $39.99. They wouldn't give me the quoted price I was given and was told "we don't give prices on the phone, which is BS". I won't go back there I'd rather pay the little extra to J&L, it's a principal thing with me.
Sorry Bill didn't mean to Hijack your thread, I'll be interested to know how the Coralife salt works for you. How many pails on a skid?

IIRC, Coralife used to have excessively high calcium. I'm not sure if that info is still current, and I haven't used Coralife myself. As with all new buckets/bags of salt, I'd suggest you test at the least "the big three" in your first bin of mixed saltwater.

Hey guys, coralife salt comes through the company I work for. I use it in a bunch of my maintenance tanks, and it comes out pretty consistent for the big 3. Dissolves fast and we are on our 3rd 53 foot container of it.

In all those bags sold we have beer had a complaint. Price did just take a hit b/c of US dollar but it is still a very reasonable salt. I'll bet one of the vendors here would organize another group buy for a pallet if you asked him. I can throw another buck or two off the boxes if we get enough.

Ask your favorite vendor!

Hey your not hijacking bud. Besides we all do it. And I think rolling buckets is silly too.
I ordered 30 boxes on the skid
