Re: Which brand of SALT do you use???

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

Re: Which brand of SALT do you use???

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.

Currently using OceanPure. Very consistant in their mix. Many hobbyists are now using it. Recommend it highly.
