![]() I am currently working on an article on the difference in salt brands. I see that the poll on this site are missing some of the other most popular brands of salt, and would like to start a new poll with the missing brand as well as the brands listed.
In addition, I would like to ask that you please describe what led to your decision. How did you evaluate the salt? What brand you used before and why was the change made. This may seem like a lot to ask, but bear in mine that many other readers will gain a clear understanding why the change was so important. Here is a current list of the brands available to the Reef hobbyist. Coral Life D-D H2Ocean Pro Instant Ocean Kent Oceanic Oceanic Pure Oceanic Pure Pro Red Sea Pro Reef Crystals Sifto Tropic Marin Thank you all for your assistance with this project.

![]() Sifto? Ya, I use that one. I used Reefer's Best, but the sifto is cheaper. It kills all my stuff, but I've saved tons of money.
![]() Your list is not complete....

![]() I have added a couple of salt brand I had over looked. I am not very familiar with the Canadian market so all your help is appreciated. Let me know what other brands I may have overlooked. This research that I am trying to accomplish will only involve the Canadian market place.
I have also added a voting poll, if you do not want to answer the questions please vote.

![]() Hey you failed to include other great products like meer salts, BioSea and they have one more blend marine something or other. all three by the same company. i use biosea and its awesome. i tried others but this one has had the greatest results in my tank. I used IO at first cause its cheaper than a happy meal, then tried oceanic and SeaChem. of all of them, i found BioSea Mixes consistently, and my corals love it. once i switched to it i knew that was it. tank has never been better.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() Last edited by paddyob; 05-15-2009 at 05:39 PM.

![]() Instant Ocean
For the price, I've never had any problem with it, and I see a lot of successful reefs run with it. Tried Seachem: Terrible, coated my mixing tank with calcium carbonate, started STN on a couple of acros Tried TMP: Didn't notice any difference in coral health after 3 buckets, but I liked not having to correct levels |
