Reevaluating my salt of choice


Recommended Posts

Now that I am getting more serious about corals, I am looking into possibly using a better salt. Currently I use IO as it is cheap and easily obtained. This is fine for my fowlr but I don't think it is so good for my reef tank. What do you guys use and if you don't mind, why? There is so much debate about salts out there.

Strange. I use Seachem reef and my ca is off the charts with low alk.

 

 

Thats what makes it tough, seems like you find varying results all over. As usual I am probably over researching, but don't want to be using a salt that is lacking essentials while I could easily use a better salt for the same or a little more money.

IO Here. I know it works so I just stick with it. It is good quality and inexpensive. You will have to boost the calcium if you want to keep Stoney's Take care

 

Yeah, def. Here's a good article on readings http://web.archive.org/web/20001215070800/http:/www.animalnetwork.com/fish2/aqfm/1999/mar/features/1/default.asp

 

IO is def. on the low end of Calcium. Funny thing is according to those charts, Seachem is fairly spot of for alk and ca :P
