michaelmouae38 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Has any one used and if so what is the consensuses on oceanic salt, I just switched from red sae reef salt didn't like the high alk. Link to comment
ulver982 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I believe oceanic salt has really high calcium but low in alk. Link to comment
AZDesertRat Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I have been using it for 8 years now and love it. It mixes up quickly and my corals like the extra calcium. Link to comment
SoS Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 On my list of prefered salts I rank it pretty far down there. I've used it and have never been happy with the results. Its a fish only salt in my opinion. Link to comment

Its a fish only salt in my opinion. Im not saying this sarcastically but what is your favorite salt? I've been thinking of starting to make my own salt watyer instead of buying premix.

Philip271 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I've used Oceanic for the last 3 months. Only salt mix I've used. So far it's working fine. I just tested it last night and got the following parameters when mixed to 1.025: Alk = 9 dKH Cal = 520ppm Mag = 1200ppm Salifert kits used at low resolution. Link to comment

CyanideDG Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Since I do not dose Calcium/kalc I need the extra calcium in the oceanic salt. You can always use a ph buffer to get it up to target 8.3-8.5 range. Link to comment
darkwhitemagic Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 i used instant ocean (regular) for the first 6 months of my tank, just switched to red sea coral pro and i have noticed growth and everything seems happier. I didn't use the reef instant ocean tho, so i cant help you there. Link to comment
MeepNand Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Don't use Instant ocean. Its alk is 14-15 at 1.026 specific gravity. Link to comment
