When I go to the LFS, I usually take three 5g jugs. I mix my own salt though. Reef Crystals. Like I say, 35 miles each way, plus have to stock up on beer.

yeah it sucks when you live in the middle or east US because they jack up the price due to transportation. I get salt water for .28 a gallon and Live rock from fiji for $3 a pound here i am about 20 miles from LAX airport
