i have found this hobby can be expensive, and i also have found that the lottery does not seem to be a solution to me, last time i spent 50.00 on tickets i won 3.00. lol

Best salt I have readily available and access to locally is Salinity Aquavitro. Which is what I use. Not a bad idea though, ill look into it. Unfortually, even though I live in a large metropolitan area, access is limited to one store that is actually good. Aside from that, I'm driving into Toronto area.

Can you purchase through Amazon in Canada? You can find some there and have it delivered directly to you. I think Instant Ocean is around 9-10dkh, but can't remember off top if my head. Reef Crystals is around 11dkh. I was using HW Marinemix but couldn't justify that crazy price when so many on here have beautiful tanks on cheaper IO salt.

If you drive to the south end of Guelph, angel fins carries fritz reef pro salt. The salt selection around here sucks. It’s either Kent marine with elevated off the charts levels of calcium and Dkh, or overpriced salinity.
Angelfins has the fritz for 79.99$ but she is a freshwater store and only carries one box at a time stock wise. That comes once every two weeks if she sells it, her store hours are really odd, she’s open from 2-4pm throughout the week and I don’t remember what her Saturday hours are. I bought her only box a week or so ago. I’ve been happy since switching from Kent marine, my last salt mix had a Dkh of 14 and calcium was over 500, I just use it for fish qt now.
She’s on laird rd.
If you wanna raise your Dkh you can goto Canadian tire and buy pool ph+, which is 100% sodium carbonate it’s like 7$ for 1kg the last time I bought it for my pool. I’ve was using that in my coral qt to stabilize my levels, my calcium was super high from Kent, so I used that to dose dkh until calcium dropped. Now I maintain levels using kalk in my ato for the coral qt.
Also if you are interested in some nice sps a local guy near rim park has nice stuff at a good price, if you look on kijiji you will find his ad, if you can’t... pm me and I’ll give you his contact info.

Sweet, I'll look into it. Yes salinity is way to expensive. And with the amount of salt I'm going through I'm well open to options. I just liked the stability with salintity over the Kent salt. I've already got two bags of cal and dkh so I'm going to dose two part for now. Thanks for advice, I'm going to shoot her a call
