Where to buy Red Sea Salt

[reeferkeifer]

Does anyone know of any stores, not online, that sell Red Sea Salt? Do you know how much for the 175 gallon bucket?

Don't go to premier, they were caught selling reef crystals as red sea max. (Pre-mixed)

The Fish Store has it

I need regular salt not coral pro

I've seen it at Optimum, I know that's a haul from Gainesville though. I'm sure most stores can get some if they don't carry it. I paid about $45 for RSCP at the Fish Store a year ago.

I actually found it on the internet from a pet website for a great price, free shipping. $65 for a 175 gallon bucket.

what pet website?

petsolutions.com. I ordered, received and did a water change last weekend. I will say that the company had to resend a bucket, no charge to me, because FedEx destroyed the first bucket. Apparently it is a common problem the company is aware of because they said the buckets are thinner than other brands so they break easier. The second bucket they sent was cracked and taped by FedEx when it got to my house but the bag the salt is in was not punctured. So far so good. When mixing the salt I used 1 less cup for a 25 gallon batch. Great customer service and I got it in 2 days from the time shipped.

Good to know. Thanks.

I have ordered from Pet Solutions several times over the past couple of years. Although I have not ordered salt from them, I have no complaints with my orders from Pet Solutions. I will order from them again.

Dr Fosters and Smith is really good - free shipping.

They are great. However they do not have red sea salt mix.

I guess they only have the Coral Pro mix.. which they sell for $70 for a 175 gallon bucket

When you order the salt from drs. Foster and Smith do the bucket sometimes get broken during shipping?
