I use Reef Crystals for all 3 of my tanks. FYI, Drs Foster and Smith dropped the extra freight charge on shipping salt. I was able to get a 160 gal. bucket for $35.00 after shipping. My friend and I bought 9 buckets and the shipping charge was only $13.00!!!! Delivered by FedEx. There is no way that could make money on the shipping. | |

I've used several different brands of salt over the years and have not seen much difference in my corals. I'd like to hear what others have experienced when they have switched brands. I'm of the opinion that all the major brands are very similar and in the end it probably doesn't matter much although I could be very wrong! _________ 75g reef with Nova Extreme 8 bulb HO T-5 lighting, refuge, Remora skimmer, DSB, Seio powerheads, Acro's, LPS corals, assorted zoo's & mushrooms, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Blue Cleaner Goby , Cleaner, Fire and Sexy Shrimp, Coco Worm, T.Crocea Clam, Derasa Clam

I'm fairly new, but most people I personally know have used IO, as have I so far.
In Vancouver a 160gal pail of IO sells for $40 but where I live the LFS sells it for $80. Makes me sad as the setup of my tank and sump combined with the curing of my rock has used an entire bucket thus far... _________ I've got a new hobby!
