Default Salt
Hi everyone, I am planning to change my salt, what is the best salt out there?
I was using Seachem but I realized that my Ca is too high so I changed it into Instant Ocean well actually 50/50 but recently I checked my Ca now its damn low 350-370 and I have been adding turbo calcium everyday/spoon but wont go up at all, therefore I am thinking that my magnesium is very low(will get some buffer/test kit today)

thanks in advance!!!

Two really good salts are Reefers best Salt (for me the Cal was a little low), and DD Aquariums H2 Ocean Pro Salt (I have been using this one and it has been great). Both of these salts are good on Mag. You can also use a product like Tailored Aquatics Reef mag to raise your Mag levels.

I was using Aquamedic for awhile and but will be switching to RBS once my tanks start to fill up.
