New salt issue. Help please.

Just hope that the day you buy your yearly supply of salt isn't the day after the manufacturer just pulled a big oops and sent out pallets of bad batches! It does happen

Try petsolutions.com - The prices are good and they no longer have freight charges on salt so you just pay the standard shipping charge based on the amount of $ you spend.

They are?

That Fish Place = Lancaster, PA 17603
F&S = Rhinelander, WI

That's closer to you than me isn't it. I'm about 3 hrs from Florida.
Doesn't make any since. How about that price to ship to Alaska??
Wow!! 27.99

Yeah, you're right -- my last order was shipped out of Eagle River, WI in fact. F&S must be losing money shipping that cheap though! I'll usually get my order in two days as well.

Pet solutions is charging me shipping.

One bucket of reef crystals = $34.99 (on sale)
UPS Ground Shipping = $164.70


Sometimes I really hate living in Alaska

I checked to see what four buckets of RC would be. Same here, they're charging me shipping. Though their ground shipping option is a few dollars cheaper than F&S, it doesn't make up for their higher prices ($3 higher per bucket for RC)

fareforce -- there is a recipe online somewhere I've found about how to mix your own salt if you're ambitious enough to take it on No local fish stores in Anchorage?

There are a few, but they charge $90-$110 per bucket of reef crystals.

Hay while we are on this topic has anyone used Reefers Best Salt from Premium Aquatics? Am interested in trying it if I could talk to someone using it. Also does any one know Mag, CA+, and Alk levels on Tropic Marin Pro reef?

Thanks again!!
