I use IO because it's the only brand sold in P.R. I'd like to try other brands but the freight kills me.

Default Salt

I started with I/O and am now trying T/m/Pro My tank is still in the early stages..5 months and counting but fish, corals and rock all seem to be looking good. I will be monitoring it regularly though and see whether the extra costs are wothwhile. Maybe I will go I/O in my predator tank and T/M in the reef..we'll see.

I just switched to TMP from using IO as well, it will be interesting to see if it is worth the extra money. If I have to pay more to dose less but have a healthy tank I'm game! If I cant tell a difference in coral/dosing, back to the cheap stuff.

This poll is 11 months old. The salt I use didn't exist when it started.

with the new tank, I switched to seachem reef salt. I was tired of having to measure out 2 table spoons of this to get IO up to where it needed to be, 4 tablespoons of this, and 1 table spoon of this.
Honestly, to be able to dump a bunch of salt into some RODI water, check the salinity and know you're good to go is worth the extra 20 bucks a pail for me.
