    Good Afternoon,


    I want to donate some salt to the Boone High School Marine Biology Program and what I have is a couple of boxes of Reef Crystals. They are using just regular Instant Ocean Salt and I would like to try to get them just regular salt if possible. If you are looking to buy Reef Crystals, I would be willing to give you a box of Reef Crystals if you are willing to buy a box of Instant Ocean and make an exchange.


    This would save you $9.00 per box if you are looking to buy salt! Also there is $5.00 Gift Certificates you can get from Dr. Foster Smith. So that is a $14.00 savings Per box.

    I have been out cleaning up since the storms, and have already had people send me PM's interested in doing it. I will let you know if any of them fall through.

    Thanks

    It was my understanding that Boone is using SS but will be rolling over to RC after the tank move over Christmas break. Are they already low in SS?

    Sorry but what is SS? Shannon has told me that she is and has been using Instant Ocean.

    Hey guys,

    She is not out. I had gotten some with rebates from MACNA and was going to get it to her. When she told me that she was using Instand Ocean and not Reef Crystals, I asked what the preference is for the room. She told me that her preference was Instant Ocean, so my goal was to get her some more since she will need it at some point.

    Also some people have been willing to donate salt, so that is what they have been told to get.

    SS = Sea salt
    RC = Reef Crystals

    I think Bud is just referring to Instant Ocean Sea Salt.
