What salt mix should I use? I have a 500 gallon per day rodi.

I think it is going to depend. You want to pick something that closely aligns with the parameters you plan on keeping your tank at. From there things like how long it takes to mix, how clean it mixes, how long it can be stored, cost, etc. could all be a factor.

I honestly love brightwells neo marine! Clean and very consistent over 3 years and 2 buckets!

I use Red Sea (non-pro) Salt. Mixes quickly and clean.

its such a loaded question. What parameters do you wanna keep? That really chooses your salt.

I use Fritz RPM blue box.
~8.5 alk
~430 cal
~1400 mag

For me thats perfect and my LFS order it in bulk so its easy to get and relatively cheap.

Reef crystals. Used it in the past and currently. No issues here.

What ever is cheap, available and suits the parameters you want to keep. Salt is salt

I don’t think it matters much.
