is it me, or did prices go up?

reef salt is now $76 for 25kg box, and 69 for 22kg bucket

pretty sure box used to be cheaper than bucket.

I've ordered the reef salt from Amazon a couple of times and haven't had any broken buckets. Sounds like I've been lucky.

I wish I had read this thread before trying to mix some salt in my bucket. It flooded out my closet!!!

GUess I'll try for the 10% discount!

On another note, does anyone know of a Canadian source for -NP-Pro yet?

Been using the Probiotic salt, Coral A,B,E,V and Pro Bio S for 6 weeks and I have totally noticed a difference in the tank. The corals are more colourful and my rocks have never looked so clean!

I am currently using a bit of vinegar instead of -NP-Pro as a carbon source for now... seems to work just fine!

NP Pro isn't available in Canada yet. You can buy off the Amazon.com website and have it shipped up though. Our dollar is a bit better these days so it isn't super terrible. I think a 50 mL bottle is about $40 all in. There is also a diluted 2L bottle that you can put on a dosing pump, but you pay USD$25 shipping on it.

I was looking at this today. The description on Amazon didn't indicate that the 2L bottle was diluted but I trust your experience.

Went for a bucket of the probiotic salt and did my first wc with it yesterday and also dosed the tank with biokit from prodibio. Hoping for good results. My bucket came unbroken which was nice.

For anyone that is interested the Amazon.com shipping costs have dropped for the 2000ml bottle of NP Pro. Last Sunday it was ~$25. Today it's ~$15. Had to pull the trigger.

I really like Aquaforest products. I don't have a point of reference to compare it to other than "no dosing at all" but in the past few days that I've been using ProbioticS there is a marked difference in the the beauty of my tank.
