Customer Reviews:
1. so the great thing about this, is I use to buy the 5 gallon salt buckets. MAN one drop of water in there and no you are chiseling your way through the chunks of hard salt now. This box actually has individual bags, so if one bag got wet, it will only affect that bag, the rest of the salt is safe. it happens sometimes when i use my scooper to put the salt into the RO water to make my salt water and a splash will hit the handle or the 5 gallon bucket and then its all over.. I like it better this way for me.
2. I have used so many salts over the years I have forgotten some of the ones that I've used. I used stuff that ran me 0 for a "Tall" 5 gallon bucket (probably like 7.5 gallons) that was lab certified to be this or that. I started to realize that I kept buying different salt every time it was time to buy salt, one thing I have learned is that consistency does pay off. I don't know if this is the best salt in the world, but I'm sticking with it. It is economical, it dissolves easily, my water parameters test good with it. I run a mixed reef with it and corals are doing their thing, fish are swimming, and everyone seems happy.
3. Mixes quickly and very stable. I suggest spending the extra the first time and getting the 160 gallon bucket. Then buy the 200 gallon pack after that which has 4 50 gallon bags in it. Open them up 2 at a time as needed and put in the bucket. The bucket has a very nice, airtight o-ring seal on it. I have been using the same bucket for over 5 years and the salt is always dry and ready for use. I leave a 2 cup measure in the bucket which is perfect for filling a 5 gallon home depot bucket with 4 gallons of saltwater (and extra headroom so it doesn't slosh) at the proper salinity of 1.025.
