I see so many wonderful reef tanks using IO salt. I currently use HW MarineMix...thinking of switching! It is so tempting when you see $45 for IO (200g box) and compare that to $76 for HW MarineMix (160g box).
HW MarineMix mixes very quickly and absolutely no residue! I do like this... I tried Reef Crystals for a QT and hated the dirty brown residue left behind in the bucket!
I'm just getting into corals now...so mainly a few LPS. But, wanting to move to SPS once the tank matures a little more (currently 1 year old tank, 75g). Anyone know any advantages to staying with HW MarineMix vs IO...ie: required dosing with IO that maybe HW doesn't require since Ca/Mg tend to be a little higher than with IO?
