Switched to IO salt

[paphater]

I'm upgrading the 90g to a 200g in a couple of weeks so I decided to move on down to the "cheaper" stuff. I ordered the 200g box from amazon and was pretty happy when I saw that the salt was packaged in four separate bags instead of one giant bag. Cheaper and will be easier to store! :eek::eek::eek:

It hasn't seen any water yet but so far I'm digging it.

Many of the best reef tanks in the world run IO salt.

I have the same stuff, I am moving to a from a 55 to a 180 in about 2 weeks. Looking forward to it.

That's what really convinced me to do it. The separate bags were just a bonus. I think I can even vacuum seal any open bags with my food saver.

I switched to Kent. Seems ok so far..

Successful reef tanks can be kept with every brand available.....best bet is to just buy the salt that mixes closes to the numbers you are trying to keep.

First like to point out that it's not "cheaper", but just less expensive! :D

I'm an IO user and agree with @Waters above.....buy the salt that mixes closes to the numbers you are trying to keep.

When I do water changes, I want regular old ocean water....I'll do the alk and calc add myself. IO meets these needs as a "quality" salt. Great salt with years of history and thousands using it.

I've ran IO for 7 years never any issues at all

There is nothing wrong with IO mix. I ran it for almost 4 years before changing to Fritz. The only reason I switched is their alkalinity matched closely to where I want to keep mine. The added bonus is I never have to dose magnesium any more.

Yeah, I bought the 200 gallon box, too. I planned on using it in my Fish Qt tank for all those frequent water changes. I use Red Sea Coral Pro in my DT. But now, after using the IO, I'm leaning toward the IO when my supply of RS runs out. I really like how easily the IO mixes.

I use IO salt also and the 200 gallon boxes, it's easier because I make 50 gallons at a time, the single bags to the trick..
