I Love the Reef Crystals

I use reef crystals.

Right now I'm in between. I'm trying to find a mix that mixes quickly and neutral.

I used Brightwell NeoMarine for a long time because my LFS carried it. I really liked it.

I gave Red Sea Coral Pro a shot but it seemed to mix with Alk and CA higher than I wanted.

I'm currently trying Tropic Marin Pro Reef but it seems to mix with low Alk and high CA.

My next bucket will be Red Sea regular salt. It advertises to mix with an Alk of ~8 and CA at ~430

I voted Instant Ocean but I am thinking of grabbing a bag of bioessay

I use IORC. Why? I like the look of their buckets.

+1. But now, I buy the RC in a box and just put them into an IO bucket to throw everyone off. Cuz a good hobbyist never reveals his trade secrets. :thumbsup:

I use Reef Crystals. It's not in the poll, but it is made by Instant Ocean, so maybe I should vote Instant Ocean?

Anyhow, main reason I started to use it is because the LFS carries it, both IO regular and IO RC. Cheap, no delivery charges. Now, I order it online because I order the box good for 200 gallons, free delivery and cheaper than the LFS. I still use it because it has higher alk, calcium and mag numbers. Cut's down on my dosing needs.

I use Tropic Marin - have tried others but always come back to that one...

Salinity by Aquavitro for me. The beautiful thing about it is one cup = .026

 

[ynot65]

I've always used Reef Crystals

I've been using IO for about 4 years now and finally realized that the Potassium levels are low in that salt. I've been adding potassium to the water I use for water changes. All other parameters are within my liking

After 5 Years I switched form TM to IO RC, I was having ALK problems. Now my tank has more stable readings.

Have used IO for the past 8 years recently switched to Kent reef salt have had better results with it in coral growth
