What salt brand do you use?

[RareCorals]

I've been in the hobby for two years and a couple of months. And I've been using Marine Bio-sea Mix. It's a local brand here in the bay area.

Oceanpure here. Switched from I/O about six months ago.

Tropic Marin Pro. switched from Kent

I like Red Sea. I've used it as my preferred salt for 3 years now with no problems. It's neat to see the Red Sea plant down in Eilat where it comes from.

Has anyone tried ProLine Super Salt Concentrate . I am thinking about this stuff as it is a bit cheaper since the NaCl is not in it, and shipping should be better as well.

tropic marin here, I get it premixed for 60c a gallon from a lfs

I guess I'm the only Oceanic user--never had a problem

 

[labragg1]

jbittner--not to worry, you're not alone--I've been an Oceanic user as well or the past 2 years and I've never had an issue either. I started out using IO, but switched to Oceanic because it mixes so much better and faster. Anyway, JMO.

Trying Seachem Reef at the moment but may go back to TM Pro.

Have used Oceanic, IO in the past.

I switched form IO to Kent for increased calcium levels. No more see-saw in the cal/alk levels anymore. Its pretty bad that you have to ADD calcium to IO for water changes. I was a IO user for 1 1/2 years till I found the joy of Kent salt. I have a HEAVILY stocked 120 with LPS and for 6 weeks now haven't had to add a drop of calcium yet! Cal has not dropped below the 400 mark with 10 gal water changes weekly. I'm impressed so far.


No more IO bandwagon for this southern boy......

 

[AqCons]

Oceanic although I've had some algae issues and I don't know if it's related to the Oceanic or not.

i have used instant ocean in the past but lately ive been buying pre-mixed r/o saltwater from my lfs. its much less hastle. it costs $.89 a gallon.

I just ordered my first Box of Tropic Marin ProReef Salt. Looks like i'm going to like it. Now I currently use locally collected NSW, this is just a test to see if mixed salts are better for me. All my LFS sell natural sea water, and I want to make sure isn't hampering any growth, not that I'm unhappy with my growth.

Oceanic works great for me.
