Large supply buys?

Where do you guys get large quantities of Carbon, Salt and the like?

The amount of salt I am looking at going through for a 1000 gallon system is amazing. Where do you all buy this stuff? I am thinking 200 gallons of water changes a week, that is a 5 gallon Bucket of salt each week.

Are there dealers out there that will sell it by the pallet, so I can get a couple months worth at a time, at a good cost?

there are a few, depending on where you're located and what kind of salt you use it could be kind of pricey for them to ship it... I have some info here somewhere about a company selling bulk salt by the pallette, I think it was synthetic too, not 100% though, it was a few months ago that they emailed me, if you'd like pm me and I'll find you the info when I have a chance

I will be living in Atlanta when I get this little venture off the ground. Right now I am trying to figure out where everything will come from. Building a nice busniess plan. Over thinking every aspect of it all.. you know the drill

you might get in touch with SeaChem, as I believe they are in the Atlanta area and do sell salt by the bucket

I live here in atlanta ...
Seachem does NOT sell the 55 gallon drum of salt like they used to.. not sure if Kent (north of atlanta) doesn anything more than the 70lb buckets !

WHY?? 20% water changes a week?? Doesnot compute.

The closest that most I know who may approximate 20% a month do it to make up water going out in packing. Seriously.

Anyhow lots of distributors will sell pallet lots, no problem there. Your dealers must love ya.

What will you be keeping that you'll need to change 80% of the water a month?

I am looking at breedin RBTA, biggest factor is CLEAN water for sucess. at least as far as I can tell.

just use double DI on the output of your RO unit ...... refugium's with pods and a good skimmer.. no need in breaking your back with that many water changes...
