I've tried 3 salts over 6 years. i could tell a difference with mixing, and a bit with parameters, but never saw a difference in my coral, so i stick with RC since it works and is affordable.

Wondering the same thing, I just purchased a bucket of it last week from MD, (faster shipping than BRS). Both had it in stock though.Why not? What did I miss? I noticed BRS was out of stock.
Should be substantially higher in alk. Is your refractometer calibrated, test kit reagents still good?Reef crystal for 5years, but recent 2 bucket of reef crystal, I am getting right at 8 dkh at 1.026 sg. Is this normal? Ordered from Amazon. I thought it is higher dkh?
$50 for 200 grams is very expensive salt! I quit that expensive stuff a long time ago.Let's talk some more about salt today. It's on my mind so let's go with it!
Some people switch salts like my wife washes her hands nowadays! ALL THE TIME! I really don't have a problem with it. I've switched many times before as well. There are different reasons why I might and have switched but the salt I'm using now I really like and it would take a lot to get me to switch. I won't say what I use here in the thread because this isn't about an advertisement. I'm genuinely curious about a few things and I would like some input from you!
1. How many times have you switched salts over your aquarium career?
2. What would it take to get you to switch from one brand to another? (cost, purity, availability etc?)
Brs, petco, marine depot, live aquaria, saltwater aquarium. They’re all out and I suspect it will be difficult for it to be stocked until the pandemic guidelines are back to normal.Why not? What did I miss? I noticed BRS was out of stock.

TLF AccuraSea (in the big box) comes packaged this way. 4 bags in a box, each to make 50Gal. In the small box, it comes pre-packaged for 5Gal water changes.I set up my mixing station where I just dump in a single 50g mix of IO. IO is the only brand that I've seen that comes in 200 gallon boxes but split into 4 bags. This just makes it too easy so I won't switch. I would love to know of other brands that come in 50 gallon bags that are cleaner than IO.
It could be, depending on how quickly you do it and the difference in parametersI read that changing salt brands was a bad thing is that true?

A 40 year pro aquarist uses Fritz Pro Reef Salt for about 1/3rd the price of Tropical Marin. Anyone know why we use expensive reef salts rather than Fritz Pro.Reef??Let's talk some more about salt today. It's on my mind so let's go with it!
