Salt-Mix Survey

I like Reef Crystals, it has extra Calcium and mixes well. It also has a heavy metal chelator in it.

 

been using kent for the last couple years but have just switched to Ocean Pure Pro. unfortunately i've found it seems to have low everything and leaves a very dirty residue in the bottom of my water mixing bucket. boo!

 

I've switched to Instant Ocean and have stuck with it. So far so good.

 

Waffled between Kent and IO due to availablity. When Kent became more readily available I stuck with it due to the larger buckets (I had to drive 1.5hr return to get it). Had a bad bucket last month so now I'm back to IO until IO gets screwy and then I go back to Kent .

 

I/O I have never used any other brand I myself have used I/O only since the 60's and have set up several shops with it and never a problem..Now My sons always trying to out do the old man have switched from I/O to everything there id and they always found the new unproved products to be lacking or caused a problem then came on back to I/O

 

red sea coral plus is what i use . it works well never really considered changing .

 

I just switched from Reef Crystals to Instant Ocean, due to availability. I expect it will make little difference. The Instant Ocean salt seems to have slightly larger salt crystals than the Reef Crystals brand.

 

Was having Calcium, Magnesium, and Alk issues with IO. Switched to Tropic Marine Pro-->everything is hitting the proper numbers now. Probably won't ever switch until I start having problems again. Tropic Marine Pro is pricey, but so far is paying off because no more dosing.

 

I use Perfect Ocean salt. Its currently in a beta testing stage.

 

i use instant ocean now but my lfs is changing to red sea salt mix i am waiting to see if they like the results they get from it then i may change if they dont like it ill stay with the instant ocean pretty easy to come by
