marine salt mixes

iv been using red sea coral pro it dissolves great and it sounds good on the bucket but no one seems to use it

 

i dont think ive ever heard of that salt... and Welcome to 3reef

 

i got i good deal on it too from petsmart they price match websites like marinedepot the first bucket i got was from a guy i used to go to alot for used items and he said it was the best he ever used and uses it all the time he does aquarium maintenance so i hope its good

 

Really? I've never purchased salt from Petsmart as it's too expensive. But if they pricematch...................hmmmm...............

Does Petsmart do an in-store pricematch, or is it for their website only?

 

I have used Instant Ocean. It was OK. I have used Oceanic. It sucked. I switched to IO Reef Crystals because I started adding corals. It mixes a lot better than regular IO. And OmarD is absolutely right. The LFS sells a bucket for $65 plus tax. I bought a bucket from DFS and paid $29.99. We needed some other stuff and our bill came up to a little over $100. The shipping was $9.99 total. What a deal.

I am not only using Tropic Marin Pro Reef and find it is worth the extra money. You get what you pay for.

I use instant ocean now, I buy 150 gallon bucket when I go into the city for 35 bucks, I was using Red Sea Coral Pro from Petsmart but at 23 bucks for 50 gallon bucket, the IO is a better deal and I have never had any issue with IO in the past.
