Instant Ocean at Petsmart- I just ordered 3

[exnisstech]

Thanks @vetteguy53081 it would only let me order 2 at the lower price with repeat delivery but $61.18 shipped for 2 buckets works for me. I normally just cancel the auto ship after I get the product. Now to find some IO on sale. I mix IO and reef crystals.

Anyone get the 'new' 160g bucket with the plastic handle lately, that's gonna be bogus quick for bucket reuse.

Doesn't Reef Crystal salt get hard? It seems the Instant Ocean does not.

The only reason it would get hard, is if it was left unsealed. All Salt is hygroscopic, so it pulls moisture from the air around it. If left unsealed long enough, You could essentially turn your entire bag or bucket into a single, hard salt block. They can still be easily broken up and redesolved into water.

I have one with plastic handle and it was actually easier to carry bucket

Just a word of caution on PetSmart AutoShip (based on one bad experience):

Salt I had on autoship (Fritz RPM) literally DOUBLED in price and I got no warning, just charged.
*PetSmart refunded me the money and canceled autoship since I happened to catch it before it shipped so that's good,,, but still

I'll hold out and see how it goes. I have some rc buckets that are from my 1st reefing experience that are close to 10 years old (holding things besides salt obviously). The metal handles literally rot away, lol. Figure the plastic handle longevity won't be the same. Y'all are right tho they are easier to carry.
