What salt does everyone use?

[Johnic]

I've been using Instant Ocean Reef Crystals for 3 years and was told Red Sea Coral Pro salt is the best.
What everyone using ?

i've only used RS coral pro since getting back into the hobby 18 months ago. expect higher alk level if u switch. i have no complaints with this salt.

Also delivers Calcium 420 and good Mag.
I've been using it and might switch to regular RedSea due to high Alk, you'll get ~11 dkh.

Lots of Tanks of the Month have run on Instant Ocean. I don't think any of the more common products are better than any other. You might find one that matches your target parameters better, though.

Yup, I use RedSea regular. For me it is perfect for Alk Cal and Mag. I determine which salt to use only by those numbers. Get the salt that will help you maintain those levels where you want them.

Reef Crystals for me

Plain Instant Ocean. I adjust my WC water to match Cal, Alk, Mag, Nitrate.

I have been using Coralife reef salt. Been thinking about changing to Fritz.

Currently I'm using Fritz and have really liked it. In the past, I've used almost brand at some point. I really enjoyed ESV's multi part salt. Takes a little more time and work but once you get your routine down, it's super easy. I'll probably switch back to it when this bucket runs out.

Fritz RPM. Only my first time so no meaningful experience.

I use hw marine mix. I like the numbers it mixes too and the fact that it mixes so darn fast!

 

[GimpyFin]

Kent marine. I like it because of the lower alk (8.5) and slightly buffered cal/mag.

I use this as well, but I am going to try Fritz next.

Plain jane Instant Ocean.

Little muriatic acid to bring down the ALK, and just a slight bump in MAG does me just right.

Why use the latest and supposed greatest when you could use a salt that been tried trued and tested for decades? Doesn't hurt its rather cheap.
