Hi there
Since I’m likely to have a nano tank, I will be buying premixed salted RO water from one of two nearby LFS.
The question is, which one.
One LFS uses Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt. The other (further away) uses Instant Ocean.
Ideally I’d prefer to choose the closer option (also cheaper by 5p a litre) but if it’s no good I’m prepared to travel and pay more to get it right.
Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of either brand?
I’m aware some of these are down to personal taste but for a nano reef tank that will only keep soft corals or possibly one or two sps if I feel brave, which would be better?
For instance I’ve heard that Tropic marin has the higher calcium content which would be better for corals but I don’t know if that’s true.
Any advice would be great
