Whats the best salt out right now?

Hey guys, I am interested in knowing what the best salt is for a reef tank? I am setting up a 300 gallon and would like to know what the best salt is to use to fill up the tank for the first time?

thanks and happy reefing!

 

The salt I'm using IS the best salt... Everyone has their preference.

 

Its a tough call, everyone says they have the best. I am really interested in the new aqua vitro salinity but can't seem to find it anywhere. this could mean its good

 

Well played sir well played!

OP you're gonna get a fight starting! lol!

You should prob start with where you are with the tank and what you're plans on! I'd start with Instant Ocean at least till ya get cycled! then why its cycling, research and decide whats gonna be for the best for what you have in your tank!IMO!

Good luck!

 

Like in this hobby not everyone's tank is created equal. There are some decent salts out there but it pretty much depends on how deep your pockets go. That can be from salt as you request to pumps, powerheads, wavemakers, you get the point. But you are walking into a gun fight with a plastic knife asking a question like that.

 

I'd recommend starting with what you plan to use for the reef. It will save you a lot of grief and recalculating when you acquire corals and start dosing while changing salt mixes for water changes.

 

I like my coralife but read this

coralife seems to do really well in this test. i just looked the price of its not bad either.

 

The first time I fill up my tank can it be a non reef salt like instant ocean? then i will start using reef salt during water changes.

 

yeah should be fine!
