Salt mix local

[Grace's Dad]

Well looks like I only have enough (Coralife) to make up about 90-100gal. Need enough to make up 200 more. Aren't most mixes sold largest qty 150gal? If not who sells it in 200gal qty? Right now just going to be cycling my tank so wouldn't it be a waste to buy the higher end salt mixes. If not, would mixing the "good" stuff with this coralife just defeat the purpose.

-plenty more noobish Q's are sure to be posted soon, been tankless aka Nookin it far too long.

GWA had 200g boxes of Instant Ocean yesterday.

Didn't happen to see a price on it did you?

I think Chad said it was $42 for the box.

Dead on with the price there Nook. Just called around. The guy (not Chad) said they were all in 5gal buckets and all make about the same amount. So looks like I need 2 more buckets to get started. Should I get 1 I.O. and 1 coralife. Can't go tonight anyway-the boss has other plans for me.
Close to home I can get oceanic 200g mix for 59.99. What's the scoop on this mix.

I think mixing IO and Coralife is a good thing as each one is lacking a little in one area. They do have the boxes of IO at GWA that have 200g of mix in them, the guy there just doesn't know it:lol:

Well he still quoted me 42.00 for whatever he had. Will find out in the morning.

DFS sells 200g mix of oceanic for 40 bucks. but buy local if possible

add shipping on that and its about the same as if you buy local, but if you buy local, you get it that day you dont have to wait lol
