Hey Trina,

Big Al's is having a father's day sale. $45.99 or something like that for a box of salt. Good for 200 gallons I believe

Is that the best pricing in Calgary right now? Will other LFS match prices?

Its pretty cheap considering I bought the same box at ocean city for $60

They have alot of things for sale at Big Al's. They have alot of tank setups for sale as well.

You may want to try Gold's, Ocean City or Red Coral.

They all had some promo pricing on the new Seachem Aquavitro Salinity http://www.aquavitro.com/Products/salinity.html that is superior to IO.

I bought 2 bucket for $90 each which makes 255 gallons/per bucket.
Pretty cheap for better salt.

not to be a jerk, but if you can't fork up for a bucket of salt... your in the wrong hobby. This is the backbone of any system, sure once and awhile someone may get rid of a bucket from time to time on the cheap because it isnt panning out with their system, and by all means pick that up if the perticular salt works for you...

I would agree. However, it might not be the case that she can't afford a bucket of salt. Rather, she could just be trying to capitalize on the summer trend of tank shut downs by snagging cheap stuff. Nothing wrong with that. I troll the Buy/Sell section all the time looking for great deals on stuff. Doesn't mean I can't afford it, just means I'm cheap On that note, does anyone have any fish they don't want anymore? I'm setting up a tank for my dad real soon here.. Oops, hijack, sorry my bad! .. um ya, Trina is looking for salt, anyone.. anyone? <-- there back on topic!

#1 I think being a jerk comes rather naturally to you
#2 Its my business if I want to capitalize on getting cheap salt while a bunch of people are tearing down their tanks
#3 People sell a bazillion other items on here worth far less so whats so offensive to you about me wanting to get SALT?!
#4 Maybe you are in the wrong forum, but I'll stay in this hobby, thanks.
#5 Do you have any salt?


I also shop at Costco to save my pennies, got a problem with that, bra?

Rant end. lol Just as I was thinking canreef has been boring the last few days...
