    Have a canning place open? IMO look for pickling salt.

    if you cant find that you must wait...

    When I run out of salt, I generally pick an alternative like vinegar or ketchup. Fries are also good with cheese and gravy (I know- I'm such a Canadian).

    Sorry guys. did an upgrade from 30 to 55 gallon.

    I could have sworn I had that box in there. i went grabbed it. EMPTY.

    I though salt was the most important part of this thing.

    I'll be fine till tomorrow?

    yes assuming you didnt add fresh water to the tank to fill up the rest of the way.

    just make sure all your animals are in the water, and put a powerhead in there for circulation
