Looks the same to me. Why not just buy dry aragonite and seed it with a scoop or two of live sand from a fellow reefer's tank? Much, much cheaper.

looks like it but I can't beleive BRS is that spendy, I wonder if it is a typo.

I would try calling them and just ask, and see what they say.

I looked and I can't find 40lbs of aragonite for less then $35 shipped anywhere else. I bought 4 bags.
