What Salt do you use?
 
I know this one has been flogged to death, But I'm currently running Ocean Pure Pro and am finding the Alk to be around 4Kh. I have an amazing Oregon tort that is RTNing as we speak so I thought I'd see what every one else is using for salt

I use Tropic Marine Pro which isn't on your list.

LOL Ya it is a bit pricier than Instant Ocean that's for sure but it has good levels of magnesium, alk and calcium.

I use Red Sea which I don't see either :mrgreen:

Tropic Marine Pro here too,it was interestin to observe coral when changed from Instant Ocean.
However now its just "a" salt, so whatever works, not much difference

I also use Tropic Marin Pro salt on most of my tanks. Also use Seachem Reef Salt on another (190g) but when the 6 buckets :mrgreen: of that salt are gone I will use Tropic Marin Pro on all my tanks.

Really Ok Let me ask a question.


IO sells for $39.00 and TMP $90.00

Is it really worth 2X the cost.
I'm doing 40G water changes/week so I'm going through a bucket of salt a month. It would be hard to justify double the cost per month

I do about 70g a week water changes and IMO it is worth it. I had the misfortune to get in on the bad batch of IO salt a couple of years ago and it wiped out my entire tank. Then there was the Kent salt fiasco of last year. Compared to some other things I buy for my obsession salt is really a small fraction.

I use SeaChem Reef Salt, not on the list either.
