You have to watch Chewy as well. I just ordered 10 boxes of IO (200 gallon boxes) and it came to 40 per box lol.

Holy crap...thats alot of boxes of salt....
On the 300 I am planning on doing far less 10% water changes. I been hearing people with nice looking tanks only doing it twice a year and some never...because some have a GHL or apex system doing all the dosing....
I bought a GHL system...waiting for the ION director to hit United States...
I am not sure about never....I do not think I will do that....

That is about 3 months of salt lol. Doing AWC and bagging stuff up, I go through a lot of water with all the tanks. 200 gallon box only makes about 165-170 gallons at 35ppt. Cant remember exactly lol. Just add, mix, test, mix, test add more if needed. One would think I would have started weighing it by now, but meh, just dump it in and adjust lol.
