Fauna Marin Reef Salt… Love it!

[reefiniteasy]

Recently switched to Fauna Marin Reef Salt from Two Little Fishies AccuraSea1. I cannot believe how clear the water mixes. In roughly 20-30 minutes the water is crystal clear in my mixing Brute. But that’s not even the greatest part, days or even a week later, the water left in the Brute is clear with no precipitate, no brown sludge, nothing. It’s amazing.

I’ve previously used Fritz, Instant Ocean, and Aqua Forest. I finally found a salt that mixes fast and doesn’t require me to clean my trash can on a regular basis. I’m happy. Just wanted to share my experience.

Haven't tried this one! Salt mix seems to me to be something you choose and stick with as far as possible! I store my salt for 4-6 weeks before mixing a new batch. Let us know your "long time" verdict down the line..

Could do with something a wee bit cheaper than Tropic Marin Pro..

Interesting - you didn't like Accurasea1?

I just switched to that because it has parameters I like and it isn't crazy expensive.

I haven't found a salt that really mixes all that clean

I love AccuraSea1, however the price has gone up recently. I used to pay $26.99 a box and when on sale at SWA it was $22.99 a box. The number one reason I dropped it was because of the chemical smell. My wife, who does the water changes with me, finds the smell obnoxious. I do too but it doesn’t bother me as much. It’s a great salt.

I started using this salt and I’m 1/4 of the way through the first bucket. It’s getting rave reviews everywhere and the free ICP test doesn’t hurt either. I don’t know what’s up but my mixing pump, heater, chords, hoses and brute can walls all had dark green sludge almost like a coat of algae. I know it’s not algae though because the bin is black and is stored in a dark basement……going to clean my bin and change up my RODI filters and see but so far not a great impression.

Yeah, crazy. Definitely clean the brute and change filters. I use a white Brute and have never seen that. Keep us posted.
