What salt do you run?

[grouch]

Was using red sea but upgraded to the red sea pro. Disolves fast and is looking like I use less.

I started with IO then to reef crystals. After a bad experience with red sea salt I am back with reef crystals...

what happend?

This is what I'm looking for, quick dissolving, the coralife seems to take a little while to dissolve. Where do you buy it and how much?

The seachem I used a few months ago would take for ever to mix. The tropic marine is 69.99 on drsfostersmith for the 200G bucket and ships free.

its really a personal preference and based on ur budget....i hve used form regular oceanic to reef crystal to red sea pro back to reef crystal to aquavitros salinity....every salt measures different level of cal kh k alk and mag....i like to keep low alk and high mag and aquavitro seems to do the job...i been using this salt since last year and reef seems to love it!!!
my worst experience is with red sea pro...I hve heard gud things about tropic marine but never used it

Im gonna look into aquavitro, there is a lot more options when it comes to salt than i thought.

tried lots of salts in the past most recent was red sea coral pro and my tank started crashing really fast ..... i went back to reef crystals i found its a decent salt priced decently also plus i figure if sea world uses it it has to be decent

Thats what i'm using right now and I like that they test each batch and they put a sticker on the bucket with the parameters they got.

I've used all the snazzy stuff but with a 215 and a 60 and a 30 running I go through it way too fast to splurge on Tropic Marin etc. So for the last year or so I am back to Reef Crystals and I like them just fine! I actually buy the 200 gallon box (5 bags at 50 g each). Weird timing since I actually just hauled a new box from the front gate to the house. lol

I have to start looking for those 5 bags in a box of RC? Pick on Karin night Merry Christmas. I have used RC for a couple years, tried redsea pro but just bought a box of RC

the special bonus box ;)

what happend?

IDK man, I got a brown film over everything, pumps, mixing bucket and everything else I put in while I was mixing the salt. Although I wont blame the salt with in that time I lost a bubble coral, clam and a sick pipe organ coral. Like I said I wont blame the salt but it happened with in the time I used that salt till I tapered off of it.... I got rid of the mixing bucket and didnt clean my pumps(moron) the stuff leached over to my new mixing bucket and any other pump or heater I threw in there.... I just recently cleaned everything, including my new mixing bucket with vinegar and water....... Hoping everything goes back to normal as the pumps look new now...
