Anyone know where I can buy this salt in South Fla? I'm in Miami and looking for the 200 gallon bucket. I usually buy it at thatfishplace.com but they are out until Feb 11 and I need to do a water change now.

Thanks.

Looks like jawz.net on broward blvd and i-95 has some. I called every retailer in Dade and a few in Broward.

Why not use natural sea water?

I do when I get out to the ocean, but that's only 5 or 10 gallons at a time. I began buying ocean water from the LFR but all it took was one bad batch of water and I got slime all over the tank...which was a pain to eliminate. I suppose if the ocean water sits in the tubs long enough, stuff starts dieing, phosphate levels go up, etc.

I'm sticking to the synthetic water changes with ocean water that *I* pick up at high tide.
