Well I just double posted so ill edit this one and fire away with another question. What salt mix seems to be the best? Where do most of you purchase your salt, test kits, etc for the cheapest price?
You'll get a dozen different answers on salt mixes. I personally like Oceanic brand. I buy it from the LFS because online prices aren't much better, and there's a nasty shipping fee for heavy items (I buy 6 gallon buckets)
Test kits i buy online, lots cheaper. Usually from drsfostersmith.com I prefer them to BigAls, especially for customer service quality.
Im an oceanic salt guy myself. You will hear some rave about oceanic and some hate it. So far i've used 3 200G buckets of it and have not had problems. (knock on wood) My CA is right on target out of the bucket but I do have to raise my ALK. So until something happens for me to change im sticking with oceanic.
