I have been looking for this article for a couple of months. What I like about this article is, it is non bias

Ok now that we see haw good I.O. is where can we get it the cheapest. i have seen it online at petsmart for 34.99 for a 150 gallon bucket. I will have to talk to a manager in petsmart to see if I can get them to start to order it for us at that price.

It is good until you get a bad batch of it. http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=248196&highlight=bad+io+magnesium
I am not saying don't use it, just be careful. It happened to me and was not pretty. Killed most of my pods and all the snails, crabs, and shrimp. Took forever to get the algae blooms under control. Weakened the fish and they got sick. If it looks really cloudy when you mix it up be sure to check the alkalinity.

check emerald bay. I just got 200gal and it was well priced, I thought.

Ebay has IO for $45 for 200 gal. If you include shipping you can't order it for that online.
