    Hi everyone this is my first post, I come on here and always check everything out and always learn alot !!! There is many smart peolpe on here. So I just got a new R.O. unit and was wondering if i have to change my salt. I use i.o. reef crystals for two years now and have been happy, but i see some salts say formulated for the use of R.O water like red sea coral pro salt and was wondering if that is what i should start using. I dont mind spending the money I just want the best for my family ha ha. Thanks everyone in advance.

    You should be fine, there are some salts that work better with RO water, but it is not the be all end all. When changing salts you always risk shocking your system.
