When I purchased it I bought it on Amazon for $39 a large box delivered. It was the cheapest salt at the time.

*sigh* I miss the cheap salt pail days.

otherwise, i don't think its a matter so much of a simple salt change causing adverse reactions in peoples systems. it's more about people switching to a "carbon enhanced" salt that also focuses on adding trace elements. in my case my tank didn't need those secret additives and it sent my tank into a tailspin that was resolved when i changed out of it.
personally, i feel like it is a salt that better suits biologically established systems as you'll also see many complains about new systems struggling with it. especially ones that start with dry-dead rock.

When I started this thread, I was specifically asking for experience with reef salt not pro biotic salt. This is great to read everyones experience with aqua forest products.
I have been using fritz rpm, numbers mix up great and I can use it in 20 minutes.

The bottom line for me is that companies such as aquaforest or two little fishies I believe win me over for the simple reason that their owners are hobbyists themselves and own beautiful tanks. I'm pretty confident that whatever they manufacture, they test in real world settings on their own setups versus random companies just simply trying to make profit.
