			 Yeah its the zeo salt.  I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem finding it in Edmonton.  The only drawback is that it is expensive.

			 I think that Instant ocean is awesome, I hav never had a problem with the salt in my travels.  I did however try one pail of Tropic marine once.. didnt get a over all complete option about it used only a 1/2 pail.

			 In my opinion Aquacraft - Marine Environment is the best.  It's only available at Aquarium Illusions in Edmonton (close to you) 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			I'm using Reefers best right now and it's pretty decent too. I usually find it worth it to ship it all the way from Edmonton just because I don't seem to need to does anything when I use Aquacraft.

			 Im liking the D-D H2 Ocean Salt Pro myself. Its a real sea salt which is kind of cool. About the same price as Reefers best which seems to be about the going rate for premium salts.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	I am switching to Reefers Best though because I am running ZEO. if I were not running ZEO though, I would stick with the D-D stuff. The ALK for a non ZEO tank is way too low in RBS at 7. I think the D-D pro salt has better numbers for a non ZEOvit tank.  |
