    Reefman, I have found Oceanic online by quickly forgot about it due to the exhorbitant shipping. But I did manage to find the 90gal container at Petsmart for $30. I don' think they have it online yet.
    You can google Oceanic and find their website and do a search for stores carrying the stuff near you. ;)

    I got mine at PetSmart and as dx7fd2 said it is around $30.00 or so for enough mix to make 90 gallons

    I am with John on this one, The guy seems to be covering his tracks here.

    Craig ol buddy ol pal I have never seen this salt before and know you have been preaching about it for a long time. I have not found it in any of my LFS so where would one find this salt and info on it?

    Marine Environment is made 15 miles from my facility. The reason you don't see it at your LFS is, its not distributed by the typical 4 major ones LFS use. Being in the area where it is made, almost all out stores around here carry it. The store I worked at carried it. If you want more info, just do a google for it, he rampant on the web :) Aquacraft is the manufacturer, www.aquacraft.net is his site. In fact, search 3reef, the owner has posted here in the past ;)

    A reef buddy of mine told me he heard this same thing a long time ago online and it was a sham. He said marinemix paid good money for the good doctor to say this.

    well on the upside if his numbers are correct it provides a pretty close match to SW and as such should allow for the individual to decide the quantity of trace elements they want in their system

    Everyone who reads this doesn't need to think they need to go with marinemix. That's all I'm saying. Some of the best looking tanks in the world are run with IO. If I'm not mistaken GARF uses IO and swears by it.
