Whats your go-to salt?

[ThatPhillyReefer]

Hey all, Just wanted to see what everyone’s go-to salt is. Tell me what salt you use and what type of tank do you have (SPS, LPS, Softie or Mixed Reef)

Instant ocean reef crystals. Using for 4 decades and never let me down

IO purple 10+ years. LPS, SPS, and softies. Never felt a need to change.

Couple past tanks.

Currently running

IO just works and is available locally. I run around 8 dkH and it mixed close enough I don't have to adjust new water. Never had a need to make any calcium adjustments dosing AFR or ESV. It mixes dirty but I mix in a brute so I don't really care.

ESV because I care about quality and consistency.

Oh yeah I also tested most of them and then used a full bucket on my tank…

Nyos Pure in my tank which focuses on SPS. It mixes clean and quickly. Parameters around what I like to run my tank at.

IO purple here too. No issues whatsoever in mixed reef tank, corals are happy. Feels like anything else is needlessly overpriced.

Fritz Reef Pro mix, I just keep a small mixed reef and it’s what my LFS carries and I like to support them.

 

[RocketCityReefer]

Nyos or Fritz Reef Pro, depending which is in stock. My go to is Fritz Reef Pro. I have multiple tanks, SPS dominant, Mixed Reef, and Soft. I use the same salt in all of them.

Two little fishies! My LRS sell it so I can always get a box when I need one

 

[Boxed Fish]

Redsea blue bucket, tropic marin, & water box. Which ever salt I see depends on the LFS I’m at when I buy things I need for the tanks.
Doesn’t matter as I’m chemically able to remove all co2 from the water & have stable perimeters no matter the salt mix

Seapora because it’s priced like IO, has worked well in my mixed reef systems, mixes fast and leaves no residue.
