Best salt mix for LPS/Softies?

[diver22]

Hi I use IO Reef Crystals orange bucket, was speaking to a guy that I bought some Monti and Digi from and he stated that it would be better to purchase TM or Pro Reef for SPS and its coloration, again I'm just starting to tinker with SPS so would like to get advise. With IO Reef Crystals changing 30 Gallons every two weeks keeping my salinity at 1.025 to 1.026 my Alk 9.7, Mag 1320 and Cal at 400 to 420 is been steady for months. Should I make any changes to keep SPS ?

I'm always concern on making changes if I do not need to, everything is doing so well.

What you keep is not dependent on the salt mix at all, IMO.

Instant Ocean we I’ll be good . And if you want to do Sps, instant Ocean will work also.
