splitting salt order? Ordering from Drs F & S.

[michael stern]

I am looking to order 2-3 buckets (red sea). If I order 5, shipping goes down to like $2.50/bucket. Anyone local want to piggyback on for a couple of pails? Let me know. I'll order tomorrow am. You can pay me when you pick up.

can it be any brand or does it have to be red sea???i would like two buckets of the 200g instant ocean, if this includes any brand of salt.LMK

 

[michael stern]

I just checked. It doesn't have to be red sea. BTW. the IO is 160 gal bucket, not 200.

I checked it yesterday, dosen't have to be same brand. Matter of fact, if you guys order 14 buckets, you will pay shipping for $1 a bucket.

 

[michael stern]

Right, it's $14 shipping, regardless how many above 5. Anyone else interested. P/U new rochelle.

dam Mike ,you have to get a place closer to us ,i need salt ,but the trip to you would be more then 14 shipping

 

[michael stern]

Sure, I'll get a place in brooklyn so I can be near all of you.

At least you seem to have some decent LFS down that way. Who's going to tell my wife, you or me.

 

[DEEPWATER]

Ronen,

my parents house is about ten minutes from Michael's,
if you want the salt and can wait a week or so I can pick it up and at least bring it into the city. lmk.

I would purchase 1 bucket of "Reef Crystals."

How much a bucket?

I paid $49.99 for a 200 Gal (Kent or Red Sea) bucket locally.

At the risk of offending Dean, the linkmaster, here's all their salts:

So far, I have:

Me- 3x red sea (200 gal @46.99)
Joseny 2 x oceanic (200 gal @ 39.99)
darealdvs1 1 x reef crystals (160 gal @ 41.99 + shipping)

Anyone else?

I ordered 6 buckets of the reef crystal 2 months ago from them. When they got delivered, they came separately. Don't know why. Took like 3 separate delivery and 5 days apart. I thought they lost them. Any how, it is nice to have 6 buckets of salt delivered right to your door. No lifting in and out of the trunk.

Check out the prices from this place also.

$10 cheaper for the Red sea and $5 for the RC.

I send them an email asking how much it will cost for shipping and weight charges. Have not heard from them yet. I'll call them thisam to find out.

Hey I know a bunch of people know this already, but I always wanted to know the difference between reef crystals and instant ocean. I know they are made from the same manufacturer, so whats the difference, and is it really better to switch over to reef crystals (ive been using IO since day one).

I just got off the phone with them. Shipping is $14/pail, regardless of quantity. So drs F&S is better.

I'm ready to place this order:

Me- 3x red sea (200 gal @46.99)
Joseny 2 x oceanic (200 gal @ 39.99)
darealdvs1 1 x reef crystals (160 gal @ 41.99 + shipping)

Anyone else before I order?

I just read that article, and a couple of the other articles which deal with their claims and was wondering if anyone on this site has ever used either Coral Marine or Bio-Sea salt ? They are offering $54 delivered for the 150 Gal bucket but i wanted to hear someones opinion after they had used it.
