I heard about this on Blue Zoo podcast and was intrigued by saltless salt. It's for primarily large tanks and commercial applications. A 5 gallon bucket comes with all you need except sodium chloride. Which brings me to my next question...where do you get quality sodium chloride in the Bay Area ?
 
Nope it's this stuff.

Thanks for the links for the sodium chloride by the way.
 
Dang it... I knew that.... Ummm it's in the title.... feeling dumb here :lol:


Fritz makes it as well.
 
The best sources of sodium chloride are “plain” or non-iodized (Kalibrate already contains the proper amount of iodide so additional iodide which would be contributed by iodized salt is not necessary), greater than 99% purity, and do not contain anti-caking agents such as Yellow Prussiate of Soda (a.k.a. “YPS”), stabilizers such as Sodium Cyanurate, buffers, or metal detoxifiers; so-called “standard pool salts” with no additives may meet these requirements and can often be purchased in 40-lb. bags for pennies per pound. Keep in mind that FCC- or Food-grade salts will have a lower percentage of insoluble materials and elements such as calcium and magnesium per unit mass than will pool salts; USP- and ACS-grade salts are even better.

Sounds like the Cargill salt fits this bill perfectly :)
