What brand of salt are you using

[revclyburn]

Just wanted to know what salt you're using. I like Trop Marin, but know that there are other probably more popular that than. I used to use it along with natural ocean water I would get from the ocean near me. YEAH I know, some people have issues with that but I have never had any issues using it direct from the ocean. I only collected it when the tide was coming in. I was amazingly clear. Anway, do you use? And has anybody use Trop Marin's All for reef water additive?

Tropic Marin is good stuff and I used it in my small tanks. In the big ones I have now I have used Red Sea blue bucket and several others. I am currently using Aquaforest salt. I think most on here use Instant ocean.

I use Red Sea black bucket. I like that it's ready in 30 mins and doesn't leave sludge in the mixing bucket ( though I had one that did).

I use IO or Reef Crystals. Depending on which bucket is open/on sale.

I also use All for Reef and like the simplicity

I used to use Coralife ore yeasts and years with great success. Then, two buckets in a row (different batch number) had super low Alk and super high Ca.

I’ve been using IO since.

I use Brightwell Aquatics salt. I like the levels, and it is actually not too terribly pricey (comparatively) at an LFS near me.

Only negative is it needs mixed for 24 hours before use (I keep a barrel of 40 gallons ready) and the sulfur smell for the first 2 hours after you mix it.
