Choosing Salt Mix

I'm happy with my Reef Crystals other than the nasty crap that builds up in my mixing tank.

Why use a more expensive salt that gives you crap like that?

I've just always used RC. Maybe I'm a bit superstitious but I'm hesitant to switch. RC is also nice and high in Ca.

I use IO Reef Crystal. I tried red sea and H2O but my zoanthids were not doing well at all and I almost lost them all. I switched back to IO and they all came back to good health.

I used H2O for about a year and always had some brown deposite in the mixing baril. Never had this with IO or IO Reef Crystal. I will stay with IO Reef Crystal as this give me the best results. I have SPS, soft and LPS and all my corals are doing great.

NO matter what salt I was using, I always had to dose, so why buy a very expensive salt like H2O if I still need to dose about the same? no point. I am very happy with IO RC.

I use the BRS 2 part dosing and just got their pumps as well.
