FrontosaTony March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Went through a bucket so fast with a 120gal tank! With my 28gals it was nothing but dang the 120 eats the salt... To fill and change water. Where do you all get your salt. Need to find some cheaper. Let me know. How much salt you got through? Where you buy it? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 different tanks and maintenance methods account for different quantities of salt. most LFS sell salt, you can buy it online too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zygote2k March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 if you are doing 25g w/c on a 120 on a bi-weekly basis, a box should last you 4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.x-ray March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Depends on where you live or want to go. There are several stores around. We are lucky, pretty much every corner of our area is covered by at least one store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrontosaTony March 21, 2014 Author Share March 21, 2014 (edited) Knew I could buy it most places. I was looking for a recommendation as to where to buy it at the best price. Found it for $50 for a 200gal box of instant ocean online. Any better? Edited March 21, 2014 by FrontosaTony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 There are group buys for salt almost every month on here. Keep a look out. Usually between $30-$40 for a 200 gallon box of Instant Ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 yeah, if you wait for a group buy, you can nab them for $40-$45 for Reef Crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR-Tanked150 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Group buys are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcrazyjoker81 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Group buys are awesome. It is the only time I buy salt. Buy 2-3 boxes and you will be fine between group buy pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkey18 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 I go through a box a month. I ONLY buy it when it's on sale and then I buy at least 3 or 4 boxes. Keep your eyes open, someone usually announces a sale. Any one running a sale for the spring meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkey18 March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Maybe we need a salt sale thread? Anyone who finds a good price can post it so we can all jump on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Aquaria March 21, 2014 Share March 21, 2014 Maybe we need a salt sale thread? Anyone who finds a good price can post it so we can all jump on board. I think i might know someone that is going to have a sale soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it for $50 for a 200gal box of instant ocean online. Any better? yeah $50 for IO is not that good of a price if it's Reef Crystals that's a fair price, check with Richard at Exotic Reef Creations, he might have some, I usually pay around $50 for RC, but if you have some already and can wait doing a group buy will save you money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante411x March 22, 2014 Share March 22, 2014 I'm surprised at how little salt I go through. However, I don't do nearly as many water changes as seems to be the standard. But definitely keep an eye on the forums, salt group buys and QR's sales are great. Buy a few boxes and you'll be set until you see another one pop up. I wouldn't expect to pay more than $35 for IO and $50 for RC with this strategy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiscici March 24, 2014 Share March 24, 2014 If you can't wait for GB petsolution has IO for $40 200gal box (need to add code Thankyou for discount). Free shipping to your door over $49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
