It's all in the salt

It is but I think that AAT offered to sell it to 3Reef members not too long ago. Not sure if it's still available for sale though.

 

i was using oceanic for quite some time, second time around though, im using instant ocean. seems to be working quite well.;D

 

Using Instant Ocean, myself. See no need to switch, yet.

 

the salt was depleting the alk?

 

Does everyone make up there water 24hrs at least before adding? If you dont use it all up do you keep it for next time?

 

I use either Reef Crystals or Coralife, whichever one is available, as supply here gets pretty shaky. Coralife seems to have higher levels of everything we like, but the Reef Crystals mixes better IMHO. Either way, I found I have to dose to get the levels I like with any brand of salt, so as long as it's free of the toxins, I'm not too picky

 

Instant ocean or Reef Crystals for me, both are great.

 

I use Reef Crystals here also.

 

I use Reef crystals, I have used tropic marin and tetra, just depends what they have at my LFS I haven't really noticed any difference between them.

 

always at least 24 hours for me, sometimes have it 48 ( water changes are done at weekends either Sat or Sunday late evening so water is made Friday when I get in from work)

I only make what I need and use it all to within a few drops each week
