If anyone finds a decent price for it in Mobile or Pensacola.. let the rest of us know. It's the same price as IO via mail order, but locally where I've seen it's high. I was getting IO at Aqua Works for a great price, but have not seen Oceanic there yet.
I've got 1/2 a bucket of IO left so need to get some soon, and if I can get a salt that mixes at the the right Ca, Alk, and Mg out if the bag is great in my book.

What some people on RC are reporting:
Temp: 80
SG: 1.025
Ca: 460
Alk: 8.8 dKH
Mg: 1320
NO3: 0
PO4:0
pH: 8.00

I haven't checked any other places but B&B ($35)and Petsmart ($26) in Mobile has the 90 gallon containers. Neither of them has the 200 gallon containers.

As for me, I'm willing to try new things. I mean Instant Ocean is good salt, but since Mike has such a hard on for this new Oceanic salt, as soon as my bucket of IO is gone, I'll definetly try it!

200 gallon buckets of IO used to be $89 at B&B so I imagine that Oceanic will be cheaper than that elsewhere.

Just finished the last of my Reef Crystals, starting with the next water change in approximately two weeks, I will be an official "Oceanic Salt" dude! Can't wait.

P.S. Oceanic Salt for me is 15 bucks cheaper than what I usually get Reef Crystals for.

I think the 200 gal. bucket is $59 here in Foley. the 90 Gal is $29. I really like the salt, it mixes like Tropic Marin but has more mag. and cal. and it's cheaper!

Yeah, I was raving about it so much, they've started keeping it, and I think Mark's been using alot of it...I'm almost positive that's the 200 gal price.. have to go by there today, so I'll make sure.

Ok, today I asked how much for the 200 gal bucket, and Mark said $50.00. They didn't have any more 90 Gal, but did have some 50 Gal. I told him I was gonna post the price.......Sue

I got my wife to pick me up some today. $49.99 for the 200 gallon bucket. The guy told her it was on sale for that price but didn't mention how long the price was good for.
