I just got Oceanic from Petsmart for $3.99, do you have a petsmart in your area? It makes 5 gallons. The instant ocean others use is $15.99 from petsmart so I went with the oceanic.

Due to family issues my crabs have been adopted out to wizkidsmom (Cheryl), I know she will care for them like I did. Thanks Cheryl

If you have a Wal-Mart nearby, you can get API salt there that will work. Alot of people speak badly of it, but I used it for quite a while when I first got my crabs with no bad results. I use Oceanic now, but basically just to switch it up and try a new kind.
