Need advice on salt and substrate
Way too many brands out there. Just want to see what people recommend. I'm looking for crushed coral and salt that's good for reefing.

It's a good idea, unfortunately I don't even know which brands to start with. Was hoping for input.

Coarse gravel, thin layer. Don't buy the live stuff, its a rip off
As far as salt goes it depends on a lot of factors ; What kind of corals you want to keep How often are you going to do water changes (not how often you plan to) Are you willing to dose What size of tank and what kind of budget do you have Are you premixing the day or week before or mixing before you do the water change (I don't reccomend this)

I think people put too much emphasis on which salt to use.

Fair enough, does that mean all salts are equal? And as the saying goes, "most expensive is not always the best". I mean there must be a balance of price vs quality right?

if you dont premix your salt the day before tho i would recommend finding something that mixes fast
