After reading your threads, I am wondering if I am going financially overboard by using "Salinity" by Aquavitro. I am paying close to $100 a bucket. What do you think?

I use same thing I use in my tank, aiming for less variance when moved to display. Is why I use rodi, bring up to same salinity, etc.Okay, what is the most ideal salt mix to use on QT tank? Not for my main tank and not for any corals?

Thanks for your answer. I like the salt since I never had a problem. The tank is doing well. Best IngoI use Salinity also and being in Canada pay more than you do, and the only way to find out is to try. Go pick a different salt, buy a smaller amount if you can or see if a friend will give you a bag for a few bucks. Then take a long good look at your tank and make some notes, then do a 20% water change and watch your tank, any immediate changes make notes, after 1 day and 2 days ect... for 7 days. Now do another 20% and repeat, the big thing is when doing this try and not change anything else, so if your Carbon or GFO need to be changed then do that first and wait a day before you start your small experiment. If you do decide to try do not forget to post your results. Good Luck!
Thanks for your reply, I better start shopping around.$100 a Bucket!
My LFS has it 69.99 and that is for the Large Bucket (225 Gallons).
I've used instant ocean, seachem and now I use salinity by aquavitro. I've been using that for a couple months now. I've never had such stable water. The pH is always at 8.3, calcium is always around 450. dkh at 8. Which I would like to bring it up a little. But in time it may. My corals are growing like weeds in July. I would recommend this salt to everyone. But everyone has what works from them. What I can say is never use instant ocean. It's ok salt but if you plan on having or do have corals that salt doesn't have good calcium. Fish only tank it should be fine. But also remember when you do swich slowly start using the new stuff with the old. Upping it a little by little over 4 or so water changes. Like 25% new to 75% old. Then 50% 50% and so on. Slow and steady wins the race.
Hey Randy. Just curious if you have a picture of your tank? I'm not calling you out in doubt but Ive been on here since 2015 and I realized I've never seen your tank? You are one of the most helpful people on R2R I have met, yet I can't place a tank with the name.I'm glad you like it, but just to clarify, the salt mix being used has nothing to do with pH stability. Only the alkalinity and carbon dioxide level in the water impacts the pH and pH stability.
That is what Reefers in Europe have told me.
Don't see why they would have any reason to Lie About.
