Preferred Salt Mix

[The Rugger]

It seems I read a tread a while back that folks discussed which Salt Mix they Preferred. I can not seem to find the thread when I search so...

It is time for me to buy another bucket and I was wondering what folks were using. I have been using Kent and have not had any issue. My local area is limited to Instant Ocean, Oceanic, and Kent. I believe they had a new brand last time I was there but I can't seem to recall the brand.

What is your preference?

I've been hearing amazing things about the ESV salts. Currently I am using Reef Crystals with no issues.

If your not having any issues, why worry?

if I were you I would continue with the same less chance of causing issues due to different values in the salts and if you are running a reef kent or oceanic are probably your best bets for ca alk and mg levels

I am always looking for ways to improve and am curious to hear what others have experienced and learned.

I have tried RC, Redsea, Marin, and IO. I like RC the most seems my corals like it too, they look "happier" with RC.

I like Red Sea Coral Pro. It is made to be mixed with RO water and dissolves well. My only complaint with it is the bucket handles are terrible. They are prone to pop off easily.

I use Instant Ocean and have had no issues but I too would like to upgrade, I was told by a lfs that if I switched to Tropic Marin I wouldnt have to dose Calcium or Alk anymore. Has anyone heard of this, sounds to good to be true.

It really depends on demand, at this point in your reef, regular water changes with a quality salt, should be plenty. However, once you get HUGE colonies of SPS, you will have to supplement no matter which salt you choose.

I use reef crystals. Once I run out of current stock , I will be trying the tropic marin at one of our SPONSORS Reef solutions located here http://reefsolutions4u.com/index.html
