Best Salt on the market

ReganY · #1 02-17-2017, 07:44 PM

Hey everyone, As the title says just wondering what everyone is using for their salt and how the results are.

I'm currently using Aquavitro Salinity. I like it so far minus the fact that magnesium is on the low side. Another plus is the bucket is nice a tall.

Cheers,

I think I have used every brands of salts ever sold in Calgary.
So far, I like Reefer's Best and Aquaforest reef.

What I am using now for water change is 30% Reefer's Best and 70% Aquaforest reef mix.

Best salt on the market is actually the one closest matched to your water parameters.

I'm using Reef Crystals as I like the higher Alk / Cal.

I must say....since switching to aquaforest my colors have been much much nicer. And its priced awesome at wai's.

Reef Crystals work just fine in an LPS/ Softie tank.

If I was ever to swap back to SPS I would probably move over to Aquaforest, Myka has some unreal results with the stuff.

I would like to try Aquaforest for all the extra trace elements. I'm just not sure what the upkeep for Alk / Cal for the higher levels.

I am really interested in Aquaforest products but some of it seems a little more advanced than I would want to go. I have heard great things about their Reef Salt. If I wanna just switch this salt.. Is there anything else I would need to also add in?

Imo, Aquaforest salt mixes should only be used on tanks that either have a calcium reactor or doser. Same with any other salt brand that is formulated to emulate natural seawater.

If you rely on water changes to provide calcium and alkalinity you should choose a salt mix with elevated calcium and alkalinity.

Aquaforest and other salt mixes with natural seawater parameters will NOT "bump up" calcium and alkalinity the way a salt mix like Reef Crystals will.
