160 Gallon Instant Ocean Salt for $23 at Petsmart

[amore169]

I just bought a bunch of salt at Petsmart online for $23 dollars for each 160 gallon bucket of IO salt, spend more than $49 and it's free shipping, spend more than $100 and it's an extra $5 dollars off. It's a good time to buy a few buckets, just passing along the savings.

Yea I know, Reef Crystals it's $29 for the 160 gallon bucket with the discounts. I bought 6 buckets of the IO. Ca and Alk it's been always good (400 Ca and 9 Alk) but Magnesium it's been always kind of low (Mg 1100) when using IO, so I just try to dose as needed.

Thanks for the heads up, I bought two buckets of Reef Crystals. $29 bucks each, not a bad deal

Thanks for the heads up!

For the regular it looks like the magic number to order (max)is 4. With 5 shipping goes up to $90+ and the free shipping maxes out at $75. So you end up having to pay the rest. So if you want more than 4 I suggest multiple orders.

With that said I just ordered 4 for $102.99 including taxes/shipped great deal! This will be perfect for my upcoming tank upgrade.

Do you guys find that mixing yourself is better than just buying saltwater from the LFS?

I get saltwater for $0.35/gallon at tong's.

That's a great deal, lfs just for ro is .50 cents a gallon

I know! I was calling around to get prices and when they told me .35/gal, I had to ask for clarification. Sure enough, they weren't playing.

There is a LFS near my work that charges $1.5/gal. quite a savings when you're buying 50 gallons or something more!

man I just hope it's not sold out.. time to clear some Petsmart in my area.

pay attention to amazon too. They always have $40 for the 200lb box.. free shipping.

I find its easier, I go through about 60 gallons per week!

Got some RC. Thanks for heads up!

once you have a permanent mix station, you will know about how much salt to mix in. the pump will be permanently inside so it's only a few seconds of work.

LFS keep their salt water at their own level. sometimes at 1.022 or lower. Not very useful..

i have a few tanks totaling 400 gallons.. buying salt water gets expensive

Thanks OP!!! Just grabbed the last 2 buckets of RC from my local store. They had 2 IO buckets left. Was just about to order a box from DF&S but this deal is actually better and perfect timing.
