Tropic Marin - Aquarium Salt

I've always used Instant Ocean with good results. That TM is very pricey!!!

Reef Crystals is great a salt

Isn't RC made by the same company that makes IO?

What are the differences in makeup between the two salts to justify the higher price?

I can look it up to see when I get time .

All I know is that I havn't had a bad batch of RC yet . I can't say the same for original IO .
 
Higher ca and mag. I either use IO and mix bump the ca 75/mag 150 with the prestone and mag flake or buy RC and use as is. There really is no price diff, maybe a dollar or two. At least when you get it at fostersmith.
 
I am going to be using a bucket a month, so cost-containment is a factor. However, if I can get it all in one salt and save considerable time, that would be preferable.
 
I bought RC from DFS online, with shipping their price was hard to beat. I am done with IO the last batch I used the CAL was 150.

that is why I was wanting to know if Tropic Marin was any good. I can get the 200 pounds for $50. But I have to buy 36 and I don't need that much :D
