To prove who's who and what's what...lets see some pics of our results from the salts we choose to use.
That's just it- there is *NO* one *BEST* salt. It is purely a matter of subjective opinion. I may have my preference - and you yours, but inevitibly - there are SO many variables in each aquarium, so a direct comparison based on results - even with pictures - is not a real comparison.
I have had aquariums in the same room, using the same source water, same maintenance, same trace element additions, same foods, and one would always look better than the other.......
You may believe Chevys are better than Fords, and I may feel differently. (Either way we are going to be driving Japanese cars in the future
)

Check this out.....Marine Environment made it into an independent study.

That is very informative Brian. Visually, the graphs look like the differences in salts are significant. But when you look at the actual numbers, they are all pretty close in most catagories.
Since almost all hobbysts will add trace elements - so any presumed deficits will be altered in real aquarium use.
So - like my first post - pick any salt you like, they are all pretty good.
Can you find any information as to why the owner of Marine Environment tried to sue a club in the Bay Area?

Wonder why he didn't just offer to buy their URL? Or give them all free salt for a long time? Surely something short of sueing a club could have been worked out.....
I see this happen fairly often - a company might make a fine product, but cannot seem to relate to it's customer base in a warm, friendly manner. Marketing folks refer to "branding" as a term to describe positive name brand identity when thinking of a given product.
I don't think sueing the customer results in good "branding" of the product.....:eek1: :eek2: :rolleye1: :lol:

To get this back on topic, my LFS owner made a statement i found intresting but not sure if its true,
there is really only 3 types of salt, german salt, who makes the hawaii brand, red sea who makes their own salt, and all the rest get their salt from the same place, they then might add their own recipey of cal alk and trace elements but the salt itself is all from the same place
any truth to this ?
