Anybody use instant ocean reef crystals?

[Hugo’s_reef]

It just came up on Amazon, $42 for 200g box. Seemed like a good deal and thought I would share.

It was $7.68 for 15 pound bags that makes 50 gallon on Amazon and Chewy three weeks ago for Reef Crystals. Bought 10 bags and all shipped.

always keep an eye out for these online deals! i’ve generally always found salt less expensive online as opposed to LFS, although i do love supporting my LFS whenever i can

With Amazon salt you always run the risk of being sent salt bricks. I had like 3 boxes during an Amazon sale that came in solid.

Same here
I started buying nothing but 160 gal buckets, 0 issues since then

If you use it I’d stock up. I only see stuff (especially high weight low value stuff) going up.

I’ve picked it up for as low as $39 on Amazon

Thats $21 per 200g box free shipping tax included

Also I ordered two 160g buckets. The 200g is not on sale but the 160g buckets are. Buy two and get 30% off. Sometime you can stack the 15% off $50 which I did for in store Pickup. Check out with Paypal because somehow the coupons is having errors if you sign in and use your CC. 15% store pickup coupon are usually available during the weekends on their website. Still cheap but not as good as the 200g box deal

The 200g box were on sale for $43 last week. Sorry. Usually weekends they start new sales. Perhaps they raised the price because too many people caught on that big savings last week

Looks like its back down to 43$ as if right now on my Petco Iphone app. Try that. Repeat delivery is not showing up since I ordered it already as repeat delivery but choose repeat delivery and shipping will become free. Also use Paypal to checkout if having issues.

Looks like the trick was to use the app. I was doing it through the website. Thank you. I got it

Thanks for the info. When the "repeat delivery" happens will it be for the same price or whatever the price is at that time?

I believe if I’m reading correctly it’s 5 percent off the current price. So it might not be 43 dollars But the idea is to cancel after it’s shipped.

Correct. Just set a reminder to cancel. Worse case if you do get it and forgot to cancel is to return it back at the store.
Both salt arriving tomorrow via UPS. Two tracking numbers. Feel sorry for the UPS guy lugging 100 pounds of salt.
