salt for softies

Im gonna put just soft corals in my tank and was wondering whats the best salt to use? tropic marin, red sea, reef crystals etc

 

I use reef crystals. I am not a highly experienced coral keeper but reef crystals do keep my calcium levels at a good level.

 

I have always used Instant Ocean. You will get those who swear by a certain brand. Some salt mixes just have more Mag, Cal etc. but basicly salt is salt.

 

ok thanks

 

i use reef crystals.

 

I think i will try the reef crystals thanks all

 

for a softy tank salt doesnt matter really..all salts mix to different numbers..cal, mag, alk, and ph mix up to different numbers..if you have a mixed reef with alot of corals that consume tons amounts of calcium, you want a salt like coral life that has a calcium of around 530..and other things factor into it but this is just a basic..oceanic, instant ocean are fine, if you have a petsmart coralife, IO, Reefcrystals, oceanic..all these are fine and are carried in petsmart...kent and the petco brand is ok too..

 

Ok i started my tank with corallife yeah i work at petco the petco salt is made by the fins salt co dont know anything about them
