FS: IO Salt
I have 2 new unopened (200 gallon) boxes of IO Salt $45/each.
I also have 4 new unopened (160 gallon) buckets of IO Salt $40/each. If you are interested in more than just one, I'm sure we can work out a deal. |

Any interest at $40/box and $35/bucket? If not, I will just use it up.

You don't like the salt?

When I ran my tanks at a higher Alk level (9.5) the IO salt was fine. I've been running my tanks now at 8.0-8.3. I am also running an ATS so my NO3 and PO4 levels are much lower than when I was running my Alk at 9.5. With the IO salt I need to add acid to lower the Alk level (just like my pool). I also find the CAL and Mg levels of the IO tends to be lower than what I like to run at. I do run a doser with 2 part and Mg.
On my new setup I am going to be running a CA reactor. I've been running with the TM salts for about a year now and the numbers seem consistent from bucket to bucket and I don't need to add stuff to the salt mix to get the levels I want. I still need to dose 2 part and Mg, but my the levels are much more consistent in my temporary tanks and I don't need to keep adjusting the dosing levels other than small increases as the corals are growing. |

Yeah. I understand the high Alk issue with IO. I use it and like IO, except for the high ALK.

No brown residue for me. There used to be white residue with IO 5 or so years ago but that is much better now. It mixes pretty well for me.
