Ah your taking my mixing advice lol. I mix mine 30 pounds of white ultra reef to every 60-70 pounds of pfs. I probably told you this though. I pay $6 per 50 lbs of pfs. So I pay 12 cents a pound.

I'm sure the price varies by region and store. At my local pool supply store "Holiday Pools", they charge me $8.00 per 50lbs. It's bagged in-state as well.

I am pretty sure that I paid $15 for 100 lbs. from Leslie Pool Supply.
