So im thinking of running bio pellets, as i am going to increase my bio load with the amount of fish i am going to be adding in the future. my question to you all is which salt mix do you use when you are running bio pellets? I was told from a very knowledgeable person that you shouldn't be running more then 8dkh if you are using bio pellets.

Aquaforest Reef Salt is excellent and a great price. Mixes between 7 and 8dkh.

Salinity, redsea salt, aquaforest or reefer's best.

I personally use Instant ocean....it's true that you will have to run your alk somewhere between 7-9 when using a probiotic system like zeovit or biopellets but I found once you have your system stable around 8 it doesn't really affect anything when you water change with water that's higher in alk, I fell like it almost gives my coral a boost of energy to grow even more. But of course that's from my own personally experience and I am cheap.
