    I am going to ask Vanessa at The Fish Tank in Little Rock to order me a box of Fritz RPM (Reef Pro Mix) salt this week. Does anyone else was a box , bucket, or any other size? No one in the Little Rock area carries it but I would rather order it from one of our sponsors like @TFTank than buy it online. Also, I figure it is easier for her to order several of them than just one box although she has ordered a single box for me in the past.

    Getting back in the hobby. I am going to need salt and on a budget. How is Fritz? I was really not wanting to pony us TropicMarin prices, but was unsure about going to ReefCrystals.

    I love it. It is my new favorite. It's cheap-ish dissolves fast and has the parameters that I like.

    There is nothing wrong with Reef Crystals either.

    To what parameters does it tend to naturally mix?

    I don't doubt that about RC. I started a tank after a year of research about 10 years ago. Followed the TM hype. Loved it. Realized after I got out that TM Pro would have been a better choice. On a 90, it was expensive, but not so much so. On a 175, yeah, I just doubled my order. Time to re-think the salt snobbery. ;-)

    I used RC for a couple of years I finally changed because it mixed to a much higher alkalinity than I wanted to run and it left a brown residue in the mixing tank. About to set up a mixing station and don't want to deal with the residue.+

    Nice. Very nice. Price point? I will need enough to fill a 175 with a 40 gallon sump. As well as maintenance changes

    That's pretty darn close to what I like to run! Thanks for posting that John.

    Sorry, I got tied up and didn't have her make the order. I will call in the morning. Last Call! @huntindoc , do you still want a bucket?

    I am in for at least one box, if not two.

    Awesome. I need to clean my 55g with water and vinegar. Who knows by the end of the month, I may have water in a box.
