Salt
 
Hi everyone, I am planning to change my salt, what is the best salt out there?
I was using Seachem but I realized that my Ca is too high so I changed it into Instant Ocean well actually 50/50 but recently I checked my Ca now its damn low 350-370 and I have been adding turbo calcium everyday/spoon but wont go up at all, therefore I am thinking that my magnesium is very low(will get some buffer/test kit today)

thanks in advance!!!

IO is low on Ca. I'm trying Reef Crystals at the moment. Just switched tho, so cant saw what way it will go

Two really good salts are Reefers best Salt (for me the Cal was a little low), and DD Aquariums H2 Ocean Pro Salt (I have been using this one and it has been great). Both of these salts are good on Mag. You can also use a product like Tailored Aquatics Reef mag to raise your Mag levels.

I was using Aquamedic for awhile and but will be switching to RBS once my tanks start to fill up.

^reefers best salt.....

personally I like IO and if the calcium is low why don't you use calcium chloride mixed with top off water, You can aquire calcium chloride from any pool or spa place and it's fairly cheap I will be buying a 50lb bag soon so if you want some pm me.

I love the Tropic Marin Pro salt but am going to have to change soon as J&L is not carrying it anymore :( I have no idea what to yet. I just got some of the Deltec salt (which is natural sea salt) but I hate how dirty it is. Took forever to mix. I didn't test its Calcium though.

Red Sea Coral Pro for me. I've used quite a few different kinds and I find my tank inhabitants respond the best when this salt is used. (not to mention the numbers it makes are decent)
