Salt for Shrimp?

[SaltwaterGuruNeeded]

Do you guys think using Instant Ocean Sea Salt (Purple Bag) is ok to use for a yellow coral banded shrimp? Does it have enough iodine and other trace elements for it.

I also have 2, 5 gallon buckets of Instant Ocean Reef Salts. I'm going to guess this one is better, but was just wondering if I'd be ok with the purple bag for now or if I need to buy some iodine and a test kit for my Shrimp. (He's only a little over 1") However I do have 10 cerith Snails aswell if that makes any difference. Also have a 125 gallon tank.

Any salt for saltwater aquariums are good to use

My coral and cleaner shrimp have melted twice in 8 months using regular instant ocean

Old thread, but I never look at iodine and I had a tiger pistol shrimp in my 125 gallon that lasted 6 years. I've also never water changed the 125 in my life.

Iodine is one of those things that you don't need to chase numbers with. I use reef crystals but in general iodine is in salt mix, reef crystals just have a higher magnesium yield for 1.025 sg.
