Hello everyone! I have a 125 gallon reef tank. Im thinking of switching from instant ocean to instant ocean reef crystals. Has anyone done that before? Thanks in advance!
just curious, why do you want to change?Hello everyone! I have a 125 gallon reef tank. Im thinking of switching from instant ocean to instant ocean reef crystals. Has anyone done that before? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for your replies. I'm fairly new to this. About 8 months in. You all asked a good question. Why? Ro be honest I don't kmow why. It was recommended to me. My corals are showing very little growth. I have began dosing calcium and alk. Was hoping to keep the tank a bit more stable. Maybe if there isn't a benefit may not do it.

IMO, it is not a "better" mix from any important perspective to a reef aquarium, and I do not like to have organic matter such as vitamins in a salt mix (which Reef Crystals does and normal IO does not).
It also seems to form a brown crud that normal IO lacks or has much less of. That may mostly relate to the vitamins, but I am not certain.
I use Instant Ocean Reef Crystal salt. Should I not be not be using it and maybe just be using something like Reef Roids ? Not new to not new to saltwater but We are new to corals

i have done the change last year, no seem big inprovement, and now i saw Randy Holmes-Farley leave his comment here said they are the same, cheaper one even better, .....just confuse of tons of the salt in the market, some of them 10 times on price to others, are they really 10 times better?
