Maybe cause it's so much more expensive they don't think it will be a hot seller

I googled and found it quite a few places online. Best price so far is $85 for a bucket that treats 225g.

Locally I pay $90 for the 225 bucket, and $50 for the 120g bucket. A store can not sell the salt unless they are an authorized AquaVitro dealer, they need to be certified, that's why you won't find it in a ton of local stores, especially if you don't live near a major city. I'm very grateful for where I live, lol
After my salt mixes overnight I get 0 for phos, 0 for nitrates, 9.5dkh, 420 calcium. Honestly, I haven't tested out of the box in a long time. I stopped testing each time because it was always the same.

Sounds more like a marketing gimmick if you ask me......

AquaVitro is the premium line. I've actually seen the framed certificate in stores that carry the AquaVitro and have been told by stores that don't that this is the reason why. Seems silly, but as far as I know, it's true.

One of my LFSs carries the aquavirto chemical line and additives but i havent really looked for the salt! Im kinda afraid to be honest with u about switching up the salt! Those are great numbers BTL! Uve spiked my curiosity... i think we should all post up wat salt and the numbers we get from those salts after 24hrs of mixing...and the tests ur using!
I may just have to switch it up...

It really is the best salt I've used and everyone I know that's actually tried it says the same thing. My colors, especially purples and blues are much, much more vibrant.

Lois, see if you can get an idea of what shipping from me to you would be...
At 72 lbs...I bet it would be a lot

That's why I was looking for a place that included it....one place I found said they charge $10.80 for shipping and the product was $88 I am having trouble ordering it though
I will contact them tomorrow...and hope they stand by their advertising on google

MAYBE...Because it is made by Seachem...and many stores carry Seachem products....so why would they need special "permission" to carry that salt

Not doubting you that it's a good product, but as Meowzer pointed out it's Seachem period!!!!!!! All their other products are sold many places, so what makes this top secret mix so special??? It's just a certificate IMHO.....You could wipe your butt many a many times with all the certificates and awards I have from the military......Doesn't mean you know squat about the products, just that you went through the steps to sell it.....
I know a Master ASE certified mechanic who's super book smart and passed all the tests, but the same idiot who put a clutch assembly in backwards in a truck....Not once, but 3 times.....so certificates really don't hold much clout IMO on knowledge or ability at times.....
It's weird that Amazon, and a few other places that are listed are off the wall places....Sears???? Curious why places like Premium, AquariumSpecialty, ***********; just to name a few well knowns that don't carry the product???
