Re: Oceanic or Instant Ocean
Oh, okay. I thought about getting some of that Zoomed stuff, but I figured that the sea salt would be a better deal. I have to order all of my stuff online, becayse there's nothing for hermit crabs around here. It's horrible, because off all the shipping costs.

Re: Oceanic or Instant Ocean
Alright. I think I'll try the Instant Ocean. I might give the Zoo med stuff a go eventually. I just put a decent sized little pool for the salt water in the crabitat.

I've heard a lot about both of them. I'll just have to randomly choose one, haha.

Re: Oceanic or Instant Ocean
I ended up getting Oceanic sea salt. The shipping was a bit less, so I went with it.

Re: Oceanic or Instant Ocean
Are there ant fish stores in your area? Ones that do salt water fish? If so they'd have the salt for sure. If you have a Petco that's where I get my ocean water.
