Baking soda and Epsom salt in bulk?

[virginiadiver69]

Dose anyone buy it this way? Where do you get it?
I've checked my membership warehouse stores locally with no luck.
Actually I can get baking soda only at one but have to get a $40 membership for the privilege.
Is Epsom salt the same as water softener salt?

I buy from bulkreefsupply.com. They charge a bit more than the warehouses, but I find a bit of comfort in knowing for sure that it's reef-safe. Also, I don't mind supporting a retailer that provides such great products at reasonable prices. Not to mention their bulk chemicals also come with great long-term storage solutions (i.e. resealable buckets and bags) that can be reused for other projects and item storage.

I buy Epsom Salts and Baking Soda on sale at the grocery store.

Epsom salts vs. softener salt: I would only use food grade Epsom Salts. A softener may have other ingredients added which you will not want in your system.

Ohhh...I didn't even think to check BRS.
I've been doing the grocery store thing to but I'm looking for a cheaper bulk option.
