I figured you wouldn't be I was sorta speaking from your wallet's perspective =) I think that's a pretty sweet way to change water and a chance to have more gadgets which is fun.

My wallet is telling me that I'll be buying salt in pallets, and it may end up being only 5g a day after we see what kind of impact it has on the tank. There is definitely a balance that will need to be struck here between the costs, the results, and the bioload.
I actually haven't given any thought to the type of salt I want. Everything just keeps changing, and I really don't know what I like/don't like anymore.

In the past I've always received the poorest results when I used IO. We'll just figure out what is available when we're ready I suppose. I used to really like Red Sea salt, and had great results.

If you don't mind my input I would suggest Seachem's Salinity Salt. I've used a lot of different salts but I really like this one. I went from their Reefers salt to this. If you do some research it is one of the most balanced salts out there. I'm sure you plan on keeping SPS's & LPS's along with your clams. The bucket also makes 225 us gallons. And you gotta love the lid
 Do be carefull where you buy it as I've seen over $30 difference in town. PM me if you want. The lock for the lid

Too be honest, I would have to disagree. I went from 2 year old pails of Seachem to Reefers Best and I my tank improved dramatically. Corals that were brown for the last year have started to color up, and that's after one 100 gallon water change. I'm sure it's not the case with everyone but for me a change in salt made a huge difference.
