How much salt do you keep on hand?

How much salt do you keep on hand vs how much you would need for a 100% change?
1/2, 3x, 10x etc

2x, just in case I mess up the first time around if I ever need to do a 100% water change. So I guess I picked 3x as the closest option to my answer.

I buy a ton of my brand when on sale.
Bought 5 cases last month when it was half price.
I keep it sealed in a dry place.
Good for a year now.

Few water changes and greats lfs nearby

I use TM Pro, so not nearly as much on hand as I would like to have I usually buy 5-6 of the large buckets at a time and that will last me around 6 months....

I have to drive a ways so I pick up a couple box when I'm there, 120 gallon tank so 3-5x

I like to keep at least 3 of the 160 gallon buckets on hand. Because you never know.

I voted 3 times.
As 1x 20kg bucket salt is just under enough for 2 times full water change at 1.025 and then got whatever left in other bucket.but im really new and only on my second bucket salt i ever bought.
But would always like to keep full spare bucket just incase

Tropic Marin Classic, so usually I'll buy 100lbs to last until the next time it becomes available.

I buy 6-8 buckets when they go on sale. Keep them inside in a closet.
Figure that I will always use it and getting it on sale is a super bonus.

I always have one full bucket as a spare. So when my first one goes empty I open the spare and order a new one.

 

[Poof No Eyebrows]

I buy the 175 gallon buckets of RS coral pro and order the next ones when I have about 1/3 of what I need left.

Every time I open a bucket, I order a new one. I know I'll use it, and it's good to know I have an ample amount in case of emergencies. I use the same train of thought for all of my RO/DI filters/membrane/resin. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
