Oceanic salt or Seachem

[wetbehindears]

Ive been using Seachem for over a year now
But its just annoying ordering salt even tho this salt is good and I have no complaints on it at all.

So locally you can get instant ocean reef crystals but idk if I like them so much its what I use to use

Oceanic sea salt I think you can get locally. Is this a good reef salt does anyone else use it and used it long term?



I really just want the best salt their is but Id like to see what I can get locally that is good also.l

most saltmixes are acceptable for reef aquarium use

I like reefcrystals, the newer batches have been fine.

I get my Seachem from ABC in Fairport. CF and TRS only carry Reef Crystals and Instant Ocean.

Personal pref in general. I like ordering my salt online. That way I only have to lug the giant bucket up my stairs, no farther. Also, it's cheaper online. I order Seachem from DrsF&S

Has anyone tested a fresh batch of Oceanic? I need to switch and ARC carries Oceanic. I am using IO right now and my new batch tested and I'm really not happy with the results.

Maybe we are spoiled in Syracuse, but factor in shipping and we actually save money buying buckets from ABC Reefs

Must be nice By the time I pay for gas, and including the cost of my time, it is far cheaper for me to buy online (but only Drs F&S has reasonable shipping rates for salt afaik.)

I switched to Oceanic. I like it and ABC in Fairport has a great price. I have also heard great things about Seachem...but have never tried it.
