Which brand of SALT do you use???

[jmanrow]

I used Instant Ocean for many years and tired of having to always boost KH and Ca. Tried Oceanic, but not overly impressed.
Currently using OceanPure. Very consistant in their mix. Many hobbyists are now using it. Recommend it highly.

Doesn't look like IO is hurting for any business.

instant ocean i have used it from the start have tried others but like the results with io better

I have used, IO, Reef Crystals and Oceanic. I currently use Sea Chem. I try and maintain levels close to NSW rather than an elevated dKH and CA. Oceanic consistantly tested >550 in CA and <7 in Alk. IO was low in everything (especially Mg.). SeaChem (with the exception of my last batch) consistantly tests out at
425 CA
9.0 Alk
1290 mg
The reaction of my inhabitants has been most positive.

Biggest disappointment has been with the P04 .04 on hanna meter. But I can deal with that. One other concern is elevated boron levels. As soon as I receive a current kit from Habib (salifert) I will know how big of a concern. It also carries the highest level of Potassium which is pretty big in coloration.

CAReefer... did you ever test the Seachem for Boron? How is that salt working out for you so far?

 

[CAReefer]

Been a while since I posted. I never did receive the Boron test kit. I do however, still use the SeaChem salt. Consistency is much improved and mirror my previous test. All inhabitants are doing well and coloration continues to improve. I have no intentions of switching salts.
