Looks like that coupon code is good for more than just IO. 20% off already on sale salt is a good deal though.

Yea, I should have pointed that out. The salt is on sale for $32 and then you can take 20% off that (along with free shipping).

A "sale" that fast makes me wonder if there was a glitch in the matrix.

That's a CRAZY price for that salt! Tempting me to switch salts.....

$100 for salt? After 25 years of reef keeping, I've never found one salt that did anything better than the next. As for the IO on sale, it arrived today

I think it's just a matter of preference. I used IO/RC before and their levels never seem to be the same between buckets and it made testing/consistency a nightmare. So far the Tropic Marin Pro has been great for me.  I use less salt per gallon. Less residue in the water bucket (less cleaning) and it dissolve clear so much faster.  Maybe I'm bias .  The sale though... makes it almost the same as RC so I can't resist.
