I can make a lot of arguments in both directions why I use this type of light or this type of pump. Cost, efficiency and maintenance play a big role in all of the gear I buy, but in my experience all salts mixes work the same. I have never noticed a difference in my tank with other salt brands. So I choose the cheapest easy to mix product. I can't argue with personal preference, i was just curious as to the reasons why personal preference would lead others to use a different salt.@jduong916 can I ask what lights, pumps and other equipment you use? Everything in this hobby boils down to personal preference and what a person thinks is best for their tank. I started with Fritz and have now switched to AquaForest and couldn’t be happier. I don’t know that I’d have the same experience with Instant Ocean and I’m not willing to try.
This is like asking why does anyone use anything other than Jabao wave pumps? They all do the same thing... It boils down to personal preference.
In my experience, IO is the only salt that doesn't leave residue in my bin and I leave mixed salt in a plastic drum for weeks without circulation lol. Maybe its the water.all I use is IO but it definitely leaves a brown film. Doesnt seem to cause issues though
LOL well maybe not so good thenI think hes getting IO for the price of RSCP lol.
That's partially true. I took a look on BRS as reference (I guess that's a reliable source, correct me if I'm wrong), and a IO 200 gallon box is $55,- vs RSCP 200 gallon sack $84,-.I think hes getting IO for the price of RSCP lol.
Sure you can. Theoretically, you could use any acid, but inorganic acids like sulfuric and hydrochloric don't add adiditonal organic load like acetic or citric acids might.I didn't know you could lower dKh with acid. I might have to try this out when my numbers start to get out of whack.
This is a great point! I just assumed we were all talking about freshly mixed salt waterDo not use acid to lower dKh in the tank. Something like muriatic will lower the pH considerably and you have to wait to blow off all of that co2 that you just created. Fresh salt mix only...

I try, but that's not always possible in FloridaYou should always mix salt in cold water. Keeps precipitation to a minimum.
