If anyone wants to get a group buy of IO, let me know - I have a hook up on bulk. Pallets come in a stack 200 gallon mix (5 gallon) buckets or as one big mesh sack of salt.

Do we have to pick it up in FL or can they ship it other places. I am in the market for three pallets or so.

There is a scuba store in downtown point? Didn't know that.

Also didn't know you were big into kayaking, I freaking love kayaking. My experience is somewhat limited though.

Yup, worked there for two years, then started working elsewhere full time, and now that I only run the lab and get to pick my hours they want me back.

All that means is that I will be buying nicer corals in the near future. :D

I am (was) a certified level two sea kayak instructor by the ACA...I am up for renewal this weekend...but dont think I will do it.

Didnt teach enough classes to make up for the cert two years ago.

If I end up having to go down to FL this summer I might hit you up. :D

It seems wierd that they wouldnt use their boxes on a pallet...plus I hae seen their pallets with boxes before.

I would want the boxes and not the buckets if I was going to get one.

I can envision myself putting 3 pallets on the credit card. I can also envision myself crying when I saw how much that was going to run me. :D

I use Coralife salt and it seems to be doing alright.

Its the same price around here as IO and cheaper than Reef Crystals. I was going to get RC last time but was actually steered towards the cheaper Coralife by the LFS. Plus it came with a sweet T-shirt.

This, I usually use Instant ocean but they were out last time so went with coralife. Got a cute clown shirt to sleep in as happy by product. Seems like it mixes a little faster too.

Lolz.

As a side not a lot of LFS's were using oceanic out in LA.

I get it pretty cheap right from IO... but I'm sure they could ship right to you. I'll ask him and let you know.

I would like to know what it would cost as well. Minimum order to get it shipped to me too would be good to know...

Yikes, hopefully you can find a better deal than that.
 
im hoping to eliminate the need for extra salt all together.:screwy:

tring miracle mud in a ulns with bio pellets and a fuge. some guys that have tried this have gone over 6 months with no water changes and have had great luck. even with sps corals.
