Place to get Reef Crystals Locally?

[seminolecpa]

Is there a place to get reef crystals locally or do most get it on-line from places like DF &S when they offer free shipping? I need to buy some badly so I am not sure I can wait to have it shipped.

You can print out the price from Petsmart and go into the store to buy it. They will match the price.

Shipping is not that bad. It's only take about 5 days.

Pet Smart, really? Didn't even realize they would carry it for some reason. Thanks.

Ocean Treasures carries it in SF, I think Aquatic Central had a bag, maybe a few others haven't been to Lucky Ocean in a long time but he used to carry it. None of the places is as cheap as F&S though, they all pretty much sell at cost how F&S is able to sell so cheap who knows.

Bulk quantities.

petsmart actually has reef salt? Last time I went they didnt have any saltwater critters... but I guess they sell saltwater drygoods?

I guess it depending on the store you go to. All of the stores I went to have saltwater stuff. They don't have any live stock but they do have drygoods.

[/quote] Drs F&S no longer has free s/h/i promotion like they use to. But the s/h/i is by dollar value, no more extra weight charges.

If you need a bucket, I may have one in stock.

Double check your RC salt.

Ugh.

I just bought 6 buckets and all tested out low, like Norms This was my switch batch (switching from, IO to RC) and now I have to bump it as well They better not make me send this stuff back, I openned every bucket and took a half cup out to test I'm bringing my samples to work today and have one of our techs test it as well.

This happen to Kent Marine Salt last year around this time.

 

[GreshamH]

Being the both (IO, Kent) are owned by the same parent corp (Central pets and Garden) that doesn't suprise me It is how ever shocking it would happen with RC/IO in a way since they are the largest volume mixer on the planet. I wonder if they skimped and got caught, or something went wrong on the line?

Ok, Reef Crystals problem has been confirmed.
