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.
 
Nice find, too bad they wont ship reef crystals.... in stores only and no store around me carry it :(

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!

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.
 
Thank you! Picked up 3. Right on time. Was running on last mix. Should last me another year on the nano :)
 
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.
 
Do you guys find that mixing yourself is better than just buying saltwater from the LFS?

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.
