Does anyone use this salt? If so do you like it?

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

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
