I’ve noticed the prices are up on salt. I usually just order a 200 gal box of Instant Ocean from Amazon. I used to find them for $39.99. Now I’m just looking for a consistent place to purchase. I’m also open to trying new salt. I just prefer to 200 gal box with bags over the bucket. My salt mixing container is 45 gal. So the 50 gal sealed bags always mix 1.025 with most salts. I never have to use a measuring cup or scale.

I have been finding it’s cheaper to buy 50 gal bags individually from Amazon than the 200 box.

Yup, that’s what I do. I get one bag auto delivered every two weeks for $11.00.

I used to by regular IO from Dr. Foster & Smith when it would go on sale and I'd stock up with maybe 10 - 200g boxes. Can't remember the last place I purchased but I think it was $39.99 and then I got a 30% discount for auto-delivery. I'm now down to my last 200g and finding the prices have skyrocketed.

Did you find anywhere? I wish we had a sticky for salt on sale!
