WTB: Instant Ocean Reef Crystals Salt

[Tangwich]

For those of you that use this salt, where do you buy it? best deal or does anyone here have any for sale? I have been using IO but want to try Reef Crystals to see if my corals react better to it. Thanks in advance

I think the best place to get it is at drsfosters...

You can order multiple buckets and I think shipping is still only $10

 

[Skidazl]

Jesse, Marine Depot will call is the cheapest place to buy it. Saves on the shipping...

Tom used to carry it but no longer...

 

[-=Mach=-]

DrFoster think it's still free shipping over 49 bucks

 

[Skidazl]

Yes, free shipping is still in effect and does include salt mixes, actually because it is under $49, it is 5.99, so not including tax, comes to about a buck cheaper with DR Foster for the 200 gallon box...

Or if you do the 160 gallon bucket, it is the same price...

thanks rega, dave and mach...i think i'll go that route since it saves me money seeing as how it keeps me from going to lfs looking for it and spending money on corals i see..lol

Its on sale at Foster Smith. 200 Gallons mix for $47.99 with $5 gift certificate by mail. I got my $5 gift Certificate before my salt came. Takes 4 days for salt to arrive via Fedex Ground. No tax and free ship over $49

IO works well for me. RC seems to have high alk 11-12.

 

[Tangwich]

i have a low ph so this might work great for my tank

 

[JOSE CASAS]

What is your ph reading @?

 

[Tangwich]

well it's always been at 7.75-7.85

 

[JOSE CASAS]

dosing 2 part?

 

[Tangwich]

yup..brs ca/alk/mag

 

[Tangwich]

but now that i've been doing weekly water changes as opposed to bi-weekly, everything is taking off, even at that ph, all is growing really well.

 

[OCReefMadness]

How high is IO? It's also 11 ALk.

IO works well for me. RC seems to have high alk 11-12.

 

[JOSE CASAS]

Jesse stability is more important than a target number, yes the higher the ph there is more clasification from the corals. If you are having a low ph issue then co2 might be the problem. If you determine that co2 is not and issue because the tank has good water agitation on the top and you have fresh air in the room where the tank is @ then simply adding a kalk reactor to your ato will diff help with your low ph hth.

 

[JOSE CASAS]

Tony IO runs 8-9 alk @ 1.025

 

[JOSE CASAS]

Jesse you can also dose kalk if you like but having a reactor would be way less work.


Oh you owe a reef paradise for the info lol

 

[Tangwich]

2 reefers paradise coming your way good sir..lmao
