Best salt to use?

[kwirky]

here we go again...

I think expensive salts are good for their trace element contents. Calcium, alk, and magnesium can all be added to any salt.

I've used kent, oceanpure pro and reefer's best. kent's not bad if you test and correct each batch you mix. mixes pretty slow. oceanpure pro mixes super fast but I've never liked it's skyhigh magnesium. I use reefer's best now because it has good alk and magnesium and mixes SUPER fast. You have to mix up the salt crystals well before each use though.

Greg (snappy) uses reef crystals and look at the results he gets from his tank. You don't HAVE to spend lots of $$ on salt if you have the time and knowledge to correct your salt batches.
