Indeed this salt is twice as much as others, since it is new I posted it in the radar board to see if anyone has experience with it or has seen any write-ups that go into details on it.

I think much of the price comes from the fact that it is European. All a manufactuer has to do is add the word Eurpean to its description and they can add 50% or more to their price .Don't get me wrong, when it comes to certain things, such as clothes, I prefer European, but the prices are always maginified based on that fact, shipping, and that the US dollar is not worth the paper it is printed on in Europe. I cannot speak to the quality of a product I have not used or tested this is just an observation based on the price alone. _________ 72 gallon bowed 150lbs LR 60 lbs LS

Well Call me a fool but I picked up a bucket last week. I've been waiting for this salt to hit the Canadian market for some time. As soon as I finish my bucket of tropic marin I'll be on to RBS. Unlike most salts RB does not have higher levels than NSW. meaning the ALK, CA and Mg levels are in-line with NSW. I'm not knocking other salts. If I was not on Zeovit I'd be looking for salts with elevated ALK, CA levels. Also RBS has correct levels of Potassium. Something most Zeovit users are maintaining in their systems at about 380ppm. The K dosing chemicals called K-balance are very expensive and are required to be dosed twice a day. Getting salt with correct levels with reduce the need for me to add additional chemical components.

Jason, how are you liking the new RBS salt? Do you mind telling me where you got it? I am looking for a source where I can avoid high shipping costs (via driving to the store....)
