Hahahahaha! I knew someone was going to start this... But first post? It seems the ol' salt discussion is just as heated as the tang police.

I am not sure actually if it makes any difference to switch to a new salt and don't really believe all the hype behind pretty much every product out there... Heck, I don't even really believe in dosing all of these additive people always talk about. So, that's why I said "high quality".

I have no particular complaints against my current salt but I do feel things could be better (not going to go into the reason why). What it really comes down to though is that I would like to try something different to see if it does do anything different. Some times you have to try things for yourself to really find out and see the effect yourself.

But this is not the discussion I was aiming to have. I have seen enough people in other forums get ripped apart at the mention of switching salts...

When you changes salts though did you do it cold turkey, did you blend salts for a bit, smaller water changes, etc?
