What's the Best Salt?

Well I'm having a tough time figuring out which is the best salt out there; some say its this, while others say its that, so I'm honestly not sure. What's the best salt out there right now?

 

I voted RC's. It's the only salt I've ever used so I can't really say it is the BEST salt out there. I might give the Red Sea coral pro salt a try though.

IMHO the BEST salt is whatever works for you and your tankmates.

 

good point but I'm trying not to screw up my first reef tank so I wanna see what people have the best experience with

 

For a reef tank I would suggest the RC's or the RS Coral pro. They both have good numbers on the big 3 when mixed with RO/DI. With lower levels in other salts you will most likely find yourself dosing to get the levels where you want them.

 

I agree, reef crystals have always been good to me.

 

imo, buy a sample of each salt and try a new one every month.

 

hmm not a bad idea

 

There's a pole on this already XD. Check it out. I use ESV for the record and have used RC's before. ESV mixes faster,clearer and has better readings on KH,Ca,Mg @ the same salinity than RC IME.

 

whats ESV? and hey "XD" is my line!

 

No it's not your line...it's your name now. That's what I'm calling you from now on hahaha. ESV is a company based in Jersey I think-too late to make sure. They make products for salt/reef tanks. Probably best known for their 2 part additives, though I also use their salt and Kalkwasser. I like to stick to one brand and not mix and match, but that's just me.
