My first reef tank - please help

[andrek787]

I just got back from my all-reef LFS, they want me to wait another week before doing a water change, picked up more red sea tests and several supplements. I got a bucket of instant ocean salt from the previous owner, but was thinking about getting the RedSea Pro salt. My LFS, told me that Aquavitro Salinity is actually better than RedSea.

Aquavitro supplement program is a great match for my Kore 5th and supplies everything that is in RedSea Reef Care, minus iron which will be comming from miracle mud.

Aquavitro is better than RedSea from everything that I have read. Cost a little more though.

My LFS has the 350ml bottles for 10 bucks and 1L for $28. That cheaper then on amazon, which probably isn't supposed to sell it. I don't have any hard corals left or yet so my consumption is low. Seachem should put out the gallon containers as they usually do. Manager at the LFS said that Salinity is actually 5 cents cheaper per gallon that RS PRO in the 180 gallon bucket.
