Salt-Mix Survey

Thanks guys and gals I am a newbie!! Guess I'll give Coralife a try.

Faster isn't always better but cheap and convenient do fit the bill at this point.

 

Faster is better when one doesn't seem to mix at all sometimes FWIT, I never use newly mixed water until it's mixed for at least 24 hours with circulation.

 

I used Oceanic Salt mix it has very fine granules almost like powder and it mixes fast and the price is not that bad I think it was $34.00 for 90 gallon mix @ PetSmart

 

I used coralife, but switched over to Oceanic Sea Salt. Oceanic mixes very well. It's almost like a fine powder. No residue left over after mixing. At Petsmart it sold for $60 for 200gallon bucket.

 

I have used Crystal Sea for quite some time...found it mixes better than IO. I have to travel a little to get it, but really don't want to switch. My addage is..if something works, don't try to fix it...

 

I agree Seawillow. I want to stay with the same product all the way through. I will check into Oceanic. I do have a Petsmart closer than where I would get the Coralife. It sounds like the Oceanic might mix a little better.
Thanks to all of you. This will be my first venture into a reef aquarium and I am doing as much research as I can while gathering the various components. [smiley=balloon.gif]

 

IO and Coralife for me. Never had a pronlem with either. Had a VERY negative result with Oceanic though. Some love it others have reported wipe outs like myself.

 

Red Sea Pro Coral Salt

Anyone ever tried Red Sea Pro Coral Salt? It says that its For RO/DI water is this just a gimmick aren't all salts made for RO/DI water and tap water?
