Price of Salt ~ What the blue blazes!

I just ordered 2- 5 gal bukets of Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt; DELIVERED TO MY DOOR FOR 140.00 . I think that is still expensive seeing I used to by IO for 35 bucks for a 5gallon bucket.

Thomas, I live in northern Iowa and there isn't ANYONE other than me I know of that is into saltwater fish.
Who else would be stupid to move to Iowa for love when you came from Texas?? :thinking:

Wow thats a grip but I rarely buy salt online cause the shipping is pretty expensive for it. But for Tropic Marin thats a lot I guess it just depends on where you get it. I get for a lot cheaper than that.

go to petsmart, if you go to the online store you can get it for the online prices less the shipping charges.
IO 160 gallons for 32
oceanic 200 for 40
