Let’s talk about your salt?

I’ve been out of the hobby for a few years and was using Fritz and someone told me they had some bad batches and stay away so seeing what’s everyone is using? Please let me know what brand they’re using and type of reef. Sps, lps, zoas, softie, or mix. Thanks happy reefing

Loved fritz because it would mix rather quickly and didn’t leave any white residue on the bucket.

I used IO REEF CRYSTALS and my alkalinity tested before it went in the tank was all over the place. I gain alot of stability by switching to red sea coral pro. Seems you either love reef crystals or don't. Just my experience.

Currently IO, it's worked for 30 yrs. If not IO than Reef Crystals.

Tried many salts over all these years. Many good ones on the market. However, over a year ago I switched to Fauna Marin Salt and never looked back. It is the cleanest salt I have ever used. It mixes quickly, stays wells (usually mix a batch for the week for AWC) parameters are consistent, and have never found any left over residue in the mixing / holding tank. That over a year without have to clean the holding tank. Never had a salt that I could say that about before.

Started with reef crystals didn’t like the brown scum it created in my holding tanks so I switched to IO and have since been using it for years with no issues. That needs to be an option.

You need more options in your poll.
It really does not mater you can have a great tank with any salt available.
