I have used reef crystals since I started. Very interested in changing so I'm looking forward to see what everybody else thinks is the best. I'm following.

Todd, I have really been considering the Brightwell, how do you like it?

I would like to note something about brightwell :)
First I love it.
The alkalinity mixes right at 8.5 every time, and every bucket.
There is absolutely no residues, heavy elements or unmixed particulates
Calcium mixes every time at 425
Don't get me wrong I was sceptical at first but now I will never switch back to other brands as this has worked for the system I use.
I employ the full triton method and through ICP testing it comes out the same every time I test.
Couldn't be happier with it and doesn't cost an arm and leg ;)

E.S.V. B-Ionic Seawater System It's a little more money and you have to mix different components but I find it easier if that makes any sense lol

My local reef store only carries red sea coral pro or reef crystals. Which one is best?

It's all about what you are looking for in salts
I believe there is no best as you can make any mix the way you want it.
I used RC for years then something happened to where alkalinity was all over the board. Also that brown sludge would form.
So which one is best.. it depends on your end goals.

Ok thanks. I'm just over the brown film in my mixing container.

ESV for me I love the control I get from it. And price is good 34$ for 100g mix.

I use Aquavitro - salinity for reefs

This has to be one of if not the most asked question on this forum.

Where are you getting it for that price ??

If I had a grain of salt for every time this question was asked, I'd never have to buy salt again in my life.
