I do big water changes every week, and am running a little low on IO salt.. Where do you buy your salt and how much? I'd buy it online, but shipping pretty much kills any savings.

Thanks

I usually watch for sales at places like Petsmart. They will run sales for $35-40 for the 250g pails. Haven't seen one in a while, but I too need a bunch of salt. We are going to be filling up the 180g again.

Bump^^

Deez,

How much would you like and where do you live. I am calling my wholesaler tomorrow about several buckets for me, I will see what my cost is and give you a really good deal.

Deez,

Large water changes every week? How much? What size tank? I could never have a large tank again, just too dam lazy.

Justin,

I wouldn't mind 2-5 buckets, depending on the deal. :) I am in Fremont.

Matthew,

The tank is only 180, but I do a 40gal water change about once a week. My smaller tanks get a water change about once a month.

Sixth Ave. Aquarium seels the 50 gallon mix bags of IO for 9.99, which is really not bad.

Hey guys very sorry for the delay. Things were really crazy at work, first some really bad computer virus' then the company caught on fire. I promise I will call my wholesaler on Monday and get back to you guys.

Hey guys I have not forgotten about you, I am having a tough time getting ahold of the local wholesaler. They don't like to pick up the phone. I am still trying, I will let you know as soon as I know something.
