Well, 2 weeks with Fed Ex proved too much for the bucket to handle Per the tracking data, the package has been damaged and is on its way back to drs foster & smith.

I guess I will try the Seachem Reef Salt at my lfs.....

Re: Which brand of SALT do you use???

Yeah, I could order another bucket... just don't know that I want to...

I am very glad that I didn't need the salt quickly! I still have a bit of my O & IO left.

Ohhh yes... Drs Foster & Smith have great customer service... they offered to ship me another bucket of salt using UPS instead of Fed Express.... I politely declined.

Re: Which brand of SALT do you use???

Going to be making a switch here. I have always used IO but, am tired of the low calcium and alk. I'll be switching over to Tropic Marin as soon as I use up the 200 gal I just bought last weekend! LOL
