    If you do order online, make sure to check out DFS (Drs Foster & Smith)

    Their prices for salt mix about as low as anywhere...and shipping is based on how much you spend, not weight.

    Getting mix from them is a real bargin for me. Way less then can get locally, including shipping, less taxes.

    More economical the more you buy. No shelf life on salt as far as I know...and you are always going to need it.

    I always order a bucket or two when I make any kind of purchase from them (food, etc) as additional shipping costs for added salt mix becomes negligible.

    FWIW

    ;)

    Shouldn't be a problem going 2 weeks without a water change. Just keep an eye on those params. Dose a bit extra on the calc, Mag, Alk, and what not if you notice it dropping down too much.
