What's the best salt to use

[fsn77]

I use Reef Crystals and order it online -- I'd never buy it locally, as the LFSs want almost $80 for the same size bucket that's commonly available for $40 or less online.

is it cheaper than the lfs with the shipping charge. just curious

Some places like Drs. Foster and Smith have fixed shipping rates, making the shipping on a bucket of salt from them pretty low compared to how much the bucket weighs. I tend to order more than just salt when I place an order, so the shipping per bucket of salt is usually rather low when I order. Even without ordering anything extra, cost + shipping is still lower than paying the kinds of prices charged here locally.

yeah, I was just looking at the link you posted earlier. because of the weight of a bucket I wouldn't have thought about having it shipped. thanks
