Best Salt on the market

[ReganY]

Hey everyone, As the title says just wondering what everyone is using for their salt and how the results are.

I'm currently using Aquavitro Salinity. I like it so far minus the fact that magnesium is on the low side. Another plus is the bucket is nice a tall.

Cheers,

I think I have used every brands of salts ever sold in Calgary.
So far, I like Reefer's Best and Aquaforest reef.

What I am using now for water change is 30% Reefer's Best and 70% Aquaforest reef mix.

Best salt on the market is actually the one closest matched to your water parameters.

I'm using Reef Crystals as I like the higher Alk / Cal.

Reef cristal for me but i tink im going to change because its be comming rare, aquarorest is in for now

I must say....since switching to aquaforest my colors have been much much nicer. And its priced awesome at wai's.

Reef Crystals work just fine in an LPS/ Softie tank.

If I was ever to swap back to SPS I would probably move over to Aquaforest, Myka has some unreal results with the stuff.

Imo, Aquaforest salt mixes should only be used on tanks that either have a calcium reactor or doser. Same with any other salt brand that is formulated to emulate natural seawater.

If you rely on water changes to provide calcium and alkalinity you should choose a salt mix with elevated calcium and alkalinity.

Aquaforest and other salt mixes with natural seawater parameters will NOT "bump up" calcium and alkalinity the way a salt mix like Reef Crystals will.

what's interesting is i've switched everything over from tropic marin a,b & c to aquaforrest's balling method and it has had me steadily dosing less. also... my cal, kH and mag are all holding a little higher than i'd like despite the doses getting smaller.
i think i'm going to relax my water change schedule from weekly to every other week to see if i can tune things a bit better.

Is your mix the same strength? Maybe growth slowed down for some reason?
