They must have been running a special last month when I ordered.

Heres a link-
http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=4856
Gotta get the coupon code though, on the home page.
If you would rather not have it shipped, The Fish Doctors Ypsilianti price matches online pricing+shipping, so you can get the salt for the price in the link since the shipping is free. Just print out the offer and price, and they will honor that price for you!
They have some really big chunks of pretty zoas there too, at a price that will please!-

Just ordered a 200g box of RC shipped for $58.99 from F&S buy 2 and get free shipping. Still cheaper then the LFS~makes me sad though because I really like our LFS and the owner and support him every chance I get.

I think Reef Paradise has it $59.99 - 10% discount for being on CR, and it is a 200G box.  
Just a point for those that think LFS's charge to much for salt... I know that RP pays about $40 a box, and has to pay for shipping from the wholesaler.  So, there is not much mark up on it at all.  Standard mark up is 50% ish.... so a $20 item would sell for $40.  But salt is only 1/2 that.  Just a point for keeping it local.  ;)

Pat at amazon stingrays 43.00 a bucket. And you get the best customer service.

$74.99 for 160 before tax? If RP is paying $40, then they too are paying to much, IMO.

No, I said $59.99 for a 200 gallon box.  
Also, if you think you can find it cheaper... please do share.  Most wholesalers that are "local" are almost $45 a box.

No I meant I would have to pay $74.99+tax if I bought locally, for a 160 bucket. I also posted that I just bought a 200 box shipped for $58.98 from F&S.
 Sorry for the mix up :)
