I'm not planning on adding any corals right away, just rock and sand to get started and test the water from there.

Definely make your own and save a bundle than buying pre-mixes. It's simple with a Reverse osmosis filter, sea salt and a hydrometer. It will be expensive to start but will save you $$ in the future. Man, I miss Florida where I didn't have to mix my water.....nature did it for me!!

Thanks for the info guys, I've always mixed my own but this stuff wasn't available then, so I figured I would ask.

Thanks again

Haha, for $100, you'll have enough to START the tank with 30 gallons. For appx $140, you can get an RO/DI system from PureWaterClub AND a bucket of Seachem Reef Salt good for 160 gallons...Making it yourself is easier. If you don't want to invest in the RO/DI right away, you can get RO water from your LFS usually for around $1 a gallon and buy salt mix and still come out ahead.
