The most popular salt to instant ocean will be h2 ocean I personally use reefers best but I am on a full zeo system

I use Instant Ocean in conjunction with one additional brand that I pick at random and a DIY mix of Magnesium salts. This link shows a recent poll of salt preferences:

H2Ocean for about four years for me

I use Royal Nature. It doesn't seem to be very popular, not sure why but it works fine for me. I did test the Alk on a new batch which read out at 7 and the pail advertises 9.....People say 7 is fine but seems low...

The last bucket I purchased was H20cean, really happy with it.....I can't say it's totally because of the salt....but I have noticed a growth spurt since changing.

I'll be using it from now on

Switching from reef crystals to h2ocean.

I use H2Ocean, mixes very clean and very quickly, as I do put new mixture in tank about 1 hour after mixing.

Have used Reefers Best, also very good salt but more money. I have also had trouble buying at times, thus the reason I switched to H2Ocean

Reef Crystals is what I started with, and used for quite some time. The cheapest to buy, worked well... But I can say doesn't mix as cleanly as the others I stated. Always had some sludge and grime at bottom of pail after mixing.
