Poll: Which Salt Do You Use?
 

As I mentioned in another thread I am having some issues with super high calcium that I think is driven by the salt I use (Salinity). This spurred a bit of a discussion on which salt to use. Please let me know which salt you currently use.

Like everything, I think we will get a variety of answers, so if you can provide comments in the thread that would be helpful.

thx

I use instant ocean .. its cheap and was recommended to use it . I have no opinion or experience as to its actual quality or prams .

Forgot to add Fluval Sea Marine Salt - will try to include that one.

There's lots of threads on this and a few of us have had issues before with the ca in salinity.

I prefer reefers best. Just hard to find

Other Salt: Brightwell Aquatics NeoMarine, and I love it. Used to use Instant Ocean for years and had no problem with it, but wanted to see if something more expensive would make a difference. I think it does, but who really knows :)

Salinity :D Everything spot on and corals grow like crazy!

After using Reef Crystals for years (no problems with it at all) but switched to the new fluval salt as it has a higher alkalinity and I've been struggling with low alkalinity.

I've always used Instant Ocean and have never had any issues. +++++

Instant ocean here as well. Calcium and mag are low but it has been fairly consistent bucket to bucket

I use H2Ocean and Reef Crystals, swapping salts every other water change.

Reef crystals at $59 a 200 gal box how can u go wrong onley problem I have is keeping my alk high I'm always dosing to raise.

reefers best and tunze

Assuming you meant for reef tanks?

I use H2Ocean for my reefs, and IO for my FO tanks. I voted for the H2Ocean because I think you're referring to your reef tank.

Someone once told me you're not supposed to be able to buy the boxes as those are intended for store use and have lower levels. Any truth to this? I seem to recall testing lower when I was sold a box but can't remember now.
