Salt Preference

[ScottyMcReefer]

Ok, my first shot at making my own saltwater was a success. Rather easy to say the least. I now want to know some of the best salts to use. I currently use Oceanic(LFS used it so i didnt want to switch and shock tank). Is this good? or should i use a different brand? I heard lots of good feed back about "reef crystals". May i add that i have only softies in my tank. If that makes a difference?

Shoot me some opinions, and tips on switching salts. (like if i should add little at a time)

Thanks!

I have used Oceanic in the past ad always had good results. I then went to Seachem Reef Salt and likes that more than Oceanic. Now we have been using Tunze Salt for the past couple of months and the SPS seems to really like it and it mixes easily. I think we will be sticking with Tunze for a good while.

Do not use the Tropic Marine Pro since the parameter is out of range (ALK, Calcium and Magnesium are low).

I like Instant Ocean, I dose some mag to the mix and all is well. Here's a link to an old thread with some specs https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/reef-chemistry-forum/39512-synthetic-salt-mix-list-cal-alk.html
