Salt
I mentioned this to a few people on the way to the meeting last Sunday. I have a friend who owns an ebay business and he gets the returns from Fosters and Smith. He then resells them on ebay for pretty good prices. Most of the time what he is selling has been returned because of a cosmetic defect or someone bought something and then realized they had purchased the wrong thing. Most of my tank stuff has come from him and it has saved me tons of $$$ and I have had no issues with the equipment. There are some things he does not sell due to not wanting to be repsonsible for killing the livestock because he can't cert them, i.e. heaters.
Anyways he has about ten tubs of salt, IO reef crystals and regular IO. Not sure how many of each he has, but he is selling for $22 a tub. He has set them aside for me until I can find out how many people are interested. It looks like I am going to Shawano next week for work so I can stop in Wausau to pick up the salt. I was warned that they may not be 100% on the weight thus the low price but that there is nothing obviously low. If anyone is interested let me know and I will try and grab one for you.
Also he has stand and hood combos for $130 I believe, the same ones in fosters.

No that's alright Josh you take it... I still have I think 3 full 5 gallon pails left in the basement (might even be 4) can't remember. I just figured that I would get another if the price was good... But, I'm planning on getting more from F&S's conference anyhow so you can just take them both. Either that or I'll wait for the next time he gets some scratch and dents in =)

Ok guys I stopped in Wausau yesterday and picked up 5 IO RC and 5 IO. Condiman, Cruiser wanted one IO so you can have 4, Brian and Jake you both wanted two RC so I will take the last one since I still have other salt.
I ended up getting them for $20 a piece. Just let me know when/how you want to get them.

Thanks for the salt Josh. I used it in my q-tank already and so far, no signs of any problems.
