25% weekly which for me is 110gals. I should buy stock in IO salt.

Well, I do have a boat but I think I'd have to go pretty far out in to the gulf to get any decent water. We always have an issue with red tide over here. You just never know when it's going to flare-up. I don't know of any place that sells it.
I buy the boxes of 200gal IO for 42.99. I guesss that's not too bad. Last edited by Oldsaint; 04-24-2006 at 10:34 PM. |

You gotta point there... and add the price of gas these days, and it may be cheaper for IO!

IO=Instant Ocean salt. Most people I've talked to can't find the 200gal boxes. The more popular containers are 150gal buckets. I guess I'm lucky enough to have a LFS that carries them.
I get mine from Fish and Other Icthy Stuff in Oldsmar, FL Last edited by Oldsaint; 04-25-2006 at 10:01 AM. |

10.22% weekly.
 That's 70 gallons and that's all I can make up at one shot (conveniently)
