Welcome to R2R

A salt that will fit your needs. Most will not tell you that, using salts should first start on what kind of tank you are going to run. Some salts are for tanks with a lot of corals with high consumption with high alk, Ca, Mg. Some salts are for Fish only systems with lower alk, Ca and Mg.

Welcome to R2R, Nuatica!

Love the polarizing question off the bat: Fritz Reef Pro Mix

Knowledge share: Don’t forget to re-mix your salt mix, because it’s not just salt. Other elements in the box or tub settle at various levels. Just another factoid learned from the good people of this forum.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
