Haven't seen that brand of salt before? Any feedback on it?

Default Salt

Bought a bucket tonight
Switching from "crap" lol Steve
It's nice stuff to mix, and believe it or not, it mixes hot!
Bastard to open though, my fingers are still sore
Looking forward to seeing what a diff it makes!

yeah about that salt, I have just been using instant ocean reef crystals, since I bought enough for 50gallons, I have thought of switching once I run out though, how is it?

I've used NeoMarine for a few buckets now. It seems to be pretty good but one thing to note is that it does not have trace elements. Brightwell's take on this is that trace elements are, well, trace and have no proven effect in aquaria and those who are concerned with trace elements will dose them anyways. I've just switched to Instant Ocean for the next bucket so I'll see if there are any changes (in my experience, I don't really notice anything when I switch salt).

The bucket is a bastard to open and it does mix up hot (if you add just a little bit of water to the salt it will steam). Avoid getting the salt on your skin because it can sting like a bugger. When you mix it up it has a sulphur-y/egg smell to it. This is normal. Over all I was happy with it and can't really say anything negative.
