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 |

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

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.
