HelloReef 15 - TSA Giveaway

I'm down to about 1/4 of the Instant Ocean. I picked up 2 boxes of the Nyos to use next but I don't like how it both has different labels of parameters. Which salts do you think are "better" formulated for corals?

Instant Ocean and Reef Crystals are both general salts - good for a tank. More like expensive salt brands have better solubility so they mix easier, or have better proportions of magnesium, alkalinity, and calcium plus better ratios of trace minerals.

I've used the IO purple and orange buckets forever. I used CoraLife 1 time and my corals weren't happy.

Red Sea blue bucket is supposed to be pretty good. A lot of people use it. More numbers in th "ideal" range for trace elements and calcium/magnesium/alkalinity.

The way I look at it... zoos use it, aquariums use it, I used it during my PhD research... it can't be that bad... lol

Instant Ocean and Reef Crystals are both good.

Some dosing may be required for more demanding tanks, but mine runs just fine on Reef Crystals. Not super demanding.

Not much space under there... but wires cleaned up and inkbird added. Just need to drill the ATO reservoir top and add the second heater.

More fish.. and an urchin

 

[Johnd651]

So lost the urchin over the weekend. But the fish are all doing well. Not that he's settling in, the blenny is cleaning up the gha. The black clown follows my hand for the food.

 

[Johnd651]

Just need to record the date... my wife asked how much bigger of a tank we should get!!!
