Fall Salt Group Buy

Ready for more salt? I put in an order a few weeks ago but forgot a few things from DFS & was wondering if you guys needed anything.

I have taken part in a few of Puffy's group buys and they are always a big sucess. Save yourselves some money and take part

It's always $31.99 as far as I can tell. Let's get this done before then anyway--I'm having a knee replacement on the 19th. I need to know exactly what you need (including anything else from them) & $$$ Paypaled by the end of next week. PM me for Paypal addy.

Thanks

I figure anything DFS sells, just make me a list--I don't mind non-fish items either. As long as you guys pay ahead of my ordering.

No problem Puffer. Thanks. I see most people ordering the Reef Crystals. What is the consensus on that brand Vs Instant Ocean or Tropic Marin for example?

I've been using RC for 4 years. The Shedd uses IO for FO & RC for their reef tanks. I see no difference using the more expensive salts, since I dose daily anyway. You can check out the article on comparing salts by Steven Pro.

I was always a Tropic Marin user in the past, but read some articles stating that Instant ocean had the same levels as Tropic Marin. So this go around I am using Instant Ocean so far with no issues. Just want what's best at the same time being budget minded.

I'm getting the RC. It's only $2.50 more than IO per bucket. I am tired of having to boost calcium and alk on my mixed water.

Like I said, I need it all picked up by the weekend of the 17th, since I'm having surgery on the 19th. That gives us 2 weeks. Let's see how many responses we get over this weekend.

Just PM me for my Paypal address. After I figure out the shipping & Paypal charge (usually 3%, I think), I'll list how much everyone owes & after I get all payments, I'll put in the order. Then when it comes in, I'll post it here. Last time I think everyone paid about $3 over cost.
