What Salt Do You Use?

[Phixion]

Word to the wise:

 

Pick a salt and stick with it. There are very few things more stressful to a tank than continually changing salt mixes.

 

Well mixing various salts together in the same SW batch isn't the best either, but it's working out for me so far. I've come to learn that minimal physical contact with the tank is far more key to a healthy tank than what salt is being used and how often it's changed. That's a whole other topic for anothet time though.

Oceanic salt.All I use and all I will ever use. the stuff is Wonderful

[FiRsT-aNd-LaSt]

I've used Oceanic, IO, but ultimately choose Red Sea Coral Pro Salt, been using it for over a year and love it.

DD H2O Pro

This.

 

I may try out the new Britewell salt when this bucket is done with...?

 

[121a]

I use the stuff i put on my popcorn. my fish and corals love it.

 

 

seriously i don't see the point in spending $50-$60 on ONE bucket of salt. I used TM, OC, RC and OC was my favorite. I did a 50/50 mix of RC and OC, doesn't mix so well. I will be switching to SeaChem soon as i am out of all salt soon. Oceanic buckets rock though, nice and tall for a nice large water change/top off bucket.

I used IO, then ME, then DD, now I'm back to IO. I like the DD the best but I hated having to order it in.

I agree that it is a bad thing but you must have poor imaginations if you can only think of a few things more stressful to a tank than changing salt

 

Putting complete tank in a cardboard box and UPSing it to yourself with a "this side up" sticker for no reason would be up there but salt changing is in fact near the bottom.

 

My bad, I was refering to things experienced reefers would do to their tank, like changing suppliments, or salt. I can see it went about 10 feet over your head.

 

####### in your tank would probably be more stressful too, so dont do it.

i don't use any salt

[ReefYourself]

Get back to me after you have a TOTM quality tank. Then we can have a disussion.

 

A tank shouldnt have an ammonia spike if you know how to start a tank.

 

I set new tanks up with fish and corals a week later all the time.

I have used marine environment and seachem. The seachem is handy because it comes in a big bucket. The best salt available in my opinion is Marine Environment though.

 

 

Whats so gimmick about the second part? You must not keep a nutrient stripping system.

 

I use M.E. obviously.
