Right now the 50 ml bottle is the same price as the 100 ml bottle, so you can double the size for no extra cost. It might change, but hopefully you can grab it up before they raise the price. Image

What is the brand of the salt water? Is it a salt that is added, or pre-mixed? I can't find any brand called 'ocean aquatic'.

Looks like its store brought, premixed water. :)

Ah, like the pet store mixes it up? I know nothing about buying premixed, but it sounds like it is an appropriate marine salt?

Yeah. Googling the name, a marine specialist store popped up. And I'd bet my next paycheck, that saltwater is being used. Haha (as for using it, I think it's fine. Its likely to be RO or RODI water, mixed will marine salt, in order to keep corals/inverts happy, since they require very good water parameters.

When I got that result from Google, I thought I just wasn't finding it. Good to know. Thanks!

If you ask the fish store, I'm sure they have some type of water dechlorinator, even if it isn't Prime. I can't imagine they sell fish and not a dechlorinator to go with them. What have you been using all this time? I buy the 500ml bottle of Prime because I have a 40 gal aquarium too, and it usually lasts me a year because you only needs drops per gallon. The 100 ml bottle is $4.19 on Amazon right now.

I use an eye dropper and put in about 3 drops/gallon. Image
