Looking for Bulk Salt (e.g., boxed) in Separate Bags

[Kengar]

I have been buying the 200 gallon box of IO Reef Crystals, which comes with four 50-gallon individual bags, but I would like to try other salt. (Too much brown residue in the mixing bin.) Are any other brands available in bulk (e.g., 200 gallon box), with smaller individual bags? The bags make it really easy to mix in my 55-gallon containers: open the hatch and pour in the whole bag, turn on mixing pump.

Thanks

Kent comes in bags

As a box of smaller bags? I am not just looking for something that is bagged, per se. I am looking for something in bulk, which bulk amount is subdivided into smaller portions (eg 50 gallon bags within the box).

I think Kent was 4 - 50 gallon bags.

I stopped using Kent. But it is great salt for the price had no issues at all.

Now I find it. The box doesn't seem to be that common on line

Why'd you stop using it?

Fritz Pro RPM is available in 4 50 gallon bags per box.

Be careful, they also offer a 200 gallon box without separate bags.

Regular IO comes that way too.

I prefer a more reef-oriented salt than the regular IO.

What has me looking for other salt is, as noted, the amount of brown crud that Reef Crystals has left in my mixing bins. I am concerned that that is partly to blame for the float switches in the mixing bins -- used to kill power to the pump that is part of my Genesis Renew autochange water system when the bins are empty -- getting "hung up" and not shutting off the pumps properly.

There was a video on BRS Tv comparing residue left by various salts. They used a power head pulling water through a filter roll to filter out the crud from two gallons of saltwater. The roller used with the IO RC was the dirtiest of them all -- markedly so.

I'll see what the parameters for FRITZ look like and may try it next.

Thanks

I went from Reef Crystals to Fritz RPM, but hate the large 200 gallon bag.
But as GQuinn posted you can get it in four 50 gallon bags.
But then it costs $4 more than the regular 200 gallon box.

Wanted to go with a high quality salt.
