IO sales/specials/coupons
Does anyone know where the best buy is on IO salt these days? Any coupons out there or specials running? I've searched a bit, but found nothing. So far, the best buy I found is Drs Foster and Smith, and The Aquarium Guys, both for the 160 gal bucket. Input?
Thanks,
BobC

Petsmart!! Go to there online store and add the IO salt to the shopping cart. View the cart and print it out, then take the printout into the store. They will price match the online prices. $34.99 for 160 gallon bucket.
Best price I've found and no waiting for it to ship!

Careful doing this...I tried and they didnt have it in stock, a lot of stores dont stock the 160g mix.
USE THIS: 15% off at DF&S, coupon code "dodge"
It comes to about $28.50 per 160 bucket + shipping (was $10 for 3 buckets for me). Doubt you'll find a better deal than that.

Anytime I order something from Drfosterandsmith I alwasy throw in a bucket of Salt because they don't charge the extra heavy shipment fee.

There are your two best bets. If you can afford a few buckets at a time, order 3-4 from drsfosters and you'll be set for a year or two. This is what I've been doing lately. If you need some now, head to petsmart. I've also tried it at petco, but they don't match their online prices (at least not the last time I tried).

Other option is to try to find a LFS that does some group buys if you have a local club. Every couple months I get 200 gallon boxes of IO for $35.
