Salt Choices

What kinds of Salt are people using?Is Red Sea Salt a good brand to use?Reef Crystals?
What are people's thoughts?

 

Personally

If you have heavy corals that uses alot of supplements, go with reef crystals. If not, Intant Ocean is just fine.

My 2 cents.

 

ESV is my favorite but is much more expensive.
Premium Aquatics has 8.99 shipping which is nice since it is about a 100Lbs per kit

Salinity Salt Aqua Vitro is awsome salt , thatswhat i use , hey craig you need to carry that salt !!! : )

 

Trust me I have checked into it.
For me to get it, I have to have it brought in UPS, which means high shipping which makes my cost too high to be able to resell.

 

I am with Craig. Reef Crystals or Instant Ocean.

 

Reef Crystals.

 

well if anything maybe the smaller ones , lol ...

 

I go with Salinity Salt I have used 3 buckets working on the 4th and have no complaints.
I get them here in the Quad Cities at AE.

 

Can you guys post pictures of your tanks along with the brand of salt you use and the salinity you mix it to?

 

my mix is at a level of 1021 - 1022
and here is a link to some pics.

I have been going back and forth between ESV and Reefer's Best (by Korallen-Zucht). Both aim for NSW levels which is what I want since I use Ca Rx and Kalk to supplement... I don't want my salt mix to act as a supplement. I have been considering using Red Sea's salt (not the pro version) since it also aims for NSW levels for Ca/Alk/Mg and is more affordable than either Reefer's Best or ESV.
