Seachem reef salt vs Instant ocean reef salt
 
Using instant ocean right now but I use to use the seachem reef salt. I liked the seachem and had good brown with it and I'm having good results with the instant ocean but traded a buddy coral for the rest of his seachem salt.

Worth the little bigger price ?

I use instant ocean as it is only product available to us in town all other salts must be shipped in

That's unfortunate. What about bulk reef supply? Shipping cost too much?

Dearth 08-31-2013 02:00 AM

If I used more salt it would be economical to order bulk but at a bucket a month and a half not really money efficient

Understandable. Still if u had the coin it would be nice to upgrade brands I bet. So far overall I'm satisfied with the instant ocean tho. I do think it should or could promote better growth rate with better salts. Hope the seachem does that for me

I've tried a lot of different salts and never saw any difference in growth rate. I find IO, once I add 25g Ca to my new water, is as good as Reefers Best, which is almost double the price.

Never heard of reefers best. I wanna rub h2ocean next. When I'm back at work. Laid off again...

Really?? :) That's a first, I think. It's the salt produced by the makers of Zeovit.

Started out with IO years ago. Switched over to Seachem and went down hill for a while. Couple pails worth. Switched back to IO and it took a while but my tank went back to looking good again. Seachem was a setback for my tank. Everyone has their oponion on different salts. I'm happy with IO and will not be switching ever again. It's a good priced reliable salt for me. Live in same town as Dearth. Is it a good salt for $59.99? Absolutely not, so thats why most of us here in PG stock up when going to Vancouver. Wheres the poll?
