    I buy 200g buckets of red sea for only a little more than that around $45. It's much better salt than IO, and there is more salt , 40g more in the red sea bucket.
    That's 25% more (and better) salt for only 18% more money.

    What's the difference between regular IO(I use this now) & IO Reef Crystals? It the difference worth the difference in price?

    You'd probably be spending your "savings" from salt, on gas to get there.;D
