Instant Ocean

I used salinity once because I was enamored with the bucket. Now I just buy Reef Crystals by the box and poor it into the awesome zipper bucket. Reef Crystals is a better price per gallon, just as good in quality, and I don't seem to have to worry so much about adding a buffer.

[LuckySingh]

any opinions on red sea pro or tropic marine pro reef salt???

[350gt]

Red sea, pro I had some issues with.... Don't know if it was a dirty batch or what but I went through a whole bucket and it left a film of some sort on my mixing pump and bucket. Nothing died on me but everything wouldn't open as much and just didn't look happy....So I am back with Reef crystals..

Instant Ocean on My FowlrAnd Reef Crystals for the Reef

[kkiel02]

I used reef crystals until today I bought Salinity. Couldnt beat the price so I thought I would give it a try. I was planning on switching to Red Sea Coral Pro again. I love that stuff.

We will see how this Salinity is and go from there.

any one using tropic marine pro reef salt???

[buck27]

I use Red Sea Coral Pro and I love it. On my second bucket of it now after switching from instant ocean. I do notice a little better color in some corals but I really see the difference in polyp extension. Its got all the right stuff at the right price for me. I have been eyeballing DnD solutions H2O our whatever though. Haven't hard of anyone using it yet.

I've used the Tropic Marin stuff before and liked it but now that I have a big tank (and a medium tank) it's just not cost effective.

I have used Coralife salt after that but just ended up with too many free t-shirts (anybody need a fish t-shirt?)

I now buy Reef Crystals by the box. No problems with it whatsoever

I'm currently using Seachem Reef salt but about a week ago I bought two buckets of Redsea Coral Pro. There was a group buy on ARC and it was too good of a deal to pass up. I don't stick to a particular brand. I've used Tropic Marin Biowhatever, Salinity and a slew of others. I can't say I've really noticed much of a difference on any of them. :P

I tried red sea coral pro and lost a bunch of coral and one fish switched back to rc and everything started doing great again

I have used reef crystals for 2 years very good, going to be trying Kent marine reef salt. I went with Gabe to a trade show and the guys at Kent marine made it sound better, they change for formula up a lil for reefers more cal and other stuff. will keep you posted

I'm still wondering about that the stuff is made in huge batches there would be more people with problems not just one bucket and batches are tested so they would know or at least track down a bad batch.

all the store had, just a 50g jug to see if the guys I talked to where right, I test before I use stuff any way so not worried. a while back i also used a bucket of microbe lift reef salt that I got free. microbe lift was very nice but hard to find locally or on the net. i like trying new stuff, cal was high mag was right on at about 1400 and it mixed clear in(10 gal) in about 10 min.

I have used tropic marin, oceanic, reef crystals, and now switched to brightwells and I love it. It's made in the good ol USA, in PA. They make it in smaller batches so that they have better quality control. But the calcium level might be low for some peoples liking, I Just do weekly water changes of 10%

[Europhyllia]

The only salt I didn't like that I've tried before is the Oceanic. Didn't dissolve well for me and always left crusties...

I used Tropic Marin in the past, but I did seem to constantly have cyano issues. I'm using Tunze Reef Excel right now and everything seems great.
