unless you are mixing to 1.021 SG, you will NOT get 175 gallons out of the bucket.
at 1.025, you will only get 153 gallons, or 6 water changes. so its $13.33/wc

BTW DFS price is now $69.99. Anyone still has the DFS item number for the old $55 per 175 gal bucket?

I know that I won't get 175 gallons out of the bucket. the amount I spend on w/c doesn't matter to me. I was correcting another user that quoted me wrong.

Any salt prices listed online or sold in the states doesn't pretain to me. I live in canada. We can't ship those items here without being charged shipping duty, and heavy item charges. So in the long run I don't mind paying $20 more than what it costs online since I will pay 3 times that by the time an american dealer ships it to my door.
