What brand do you use and why do want to switch? I used Fritz blue box when I was doing manual water changes. It matched my parameters pretty well, and my LFS always had a special on it (cheap). When I went to AWC, I changed to Brightwell Neomarine. The Fritz just didn't keep well over time. Since I'm autodosing the big 3 anyway, I'm not as concerned about matching parameters. If I were still doing manual water changes, I'd probably still be using Fritz.I’ve been looking to change salt brands for a while, but I can’t settle on a brand. Do you recommend any specific brands? Any to avoid?
I want to change salts because my “lfs” Petco won’t be stocking salt soon. We had been using instant ocean, but now all they have is a diff salt under the instant ocean name. I don’t trust this salt because it has caused me two bacterial blooms.What brand do you use and why do want to switch? I used Fritz blue box when I was doing manual water changes.

Moral of the story: What you're trying to achieve by changing salts may determine what salt to use.
Is the other salt IO Reef Crystals? You should be able to get IO online.I want to change salts because my “lfs” Petco won’t be stocking salt soon.

Crap just thinking on switching to the regular IO from tropic Marine as it’s double the price of IO…I use tropic matin pro switched from reef crystals and will never switch back don’t miss the brown crude in mixing station. But some people love the brown stuff
They are almost the same price on Chewy. Maybe a couple dollars difference.I use reef crystals and I do get the brown crud in my mixing station, but it doesn't bother me. I'm considering switching to regular I/O though. As you can tell I prioritize the price of the salt that I use.
Yea I just started looking at salt online. If willing to setup an auto shipment on petco website I can get the regular IO for $25 a bucket. If only a few dollar difference I will definitely stick with what I'm used to.They are almost the same price on Chewy. Maybe a couple dollars difference.
