I use IO because it's the only brand sold in P.R. I'd like to try other brands but the freight kills me.

Salt
 

I started with I/O and am now trying T/m/Pro My tank is still in the early stages..5 months and counting but fish, corals and rock all seem to be looking good. I will be monitoring it regularly though and see whether the extra costs are wothwhile. Maybe I will go I/O in my predator tank and T/M in the reef..we'll see.:biggrin:

I just switched to TMP from using IO as well, it will be interesting to see if it is worth the extra money. If I have to pay more to dose less but have a healthy tank I'm game! If I cant tell a difference in coral/dosing, back to the cheap stuff.

This poll is 11 months old. The salt I use didn't exist when it started.

here is something that might be of interest I found this on 3Reef posted by another member.

Hope it works

i now use reefers best salt mixed with a little reef crystal.

with the new tank, I switched to seachem reef salt. I was tired of having to measure out 2 table spoons of this to get IO up to where it needed to be, 4 tablespoons of this, and 1 table spoon of this.
Honestly, to be able to dump a bunch of salt into some RODI water, check the salinity and know you're good to go is worth the extra 20 bucks a pail for me.

My Salt isn't even in the poll
 

I use a CORAL MARINE sea salt. i like it ts ozone safe contains a de chlorinator, ph buffer, 70 trace elements, ETC.

That salt analysis report is very interesting and worth whoile reading

I am ready to buy some additional salt when I head to the Coast later this week. The Kent I am using is giving me some pretty odd test results, I must have gotten some of that odd batch others had mentioned.

After reviewing the summary test report posted here earlier I am looking at purchasing either Seachem Reef or TMP Reef. Mostly to minimize the need to dose as DanG mentions.

Any additional thoughts on this issue?
