I thought different areas treat their water differentWe all use the same water lol . I think it has something to do with heat & sitting for a few days. It doesn't affect anything, but definitely a brown residue all in the brute.

I understand the parameters are different, I’m just saying In my experience with the differing parameters I have seen no difference in the actual tank. For sure if you have a small tank getting the salt that matches what you want is ideal, but since I dose, regardless of what salt I use my parameters end up where I want. I guess this is more for larger tanks, if I had a small tank and I could get by with water changes and no dosing id definitely want salt with parameters that I like. The cost wouldn’t really be a factor at that pointWhat do you mean by work? That they sustain life? Sure. But the fact that every salt doesn’t mix up to the same parameters shows that they are all different. AF mixes to 7.8dKH, I saw someone post IO is around 10. My Fritz was 8 to 10 (which is why I changed, every box was different). I also like to see the icp test that comes with the AF. My AF mixes up with a pretty clean bucket, some precipitate if I let it sit. The Fritz was a mess if it sat more than a couple days. I tried Tropic Marin Bio-Actif but couldn’t get past the haziness. It bothered me. I also like that AF provides tons of information on their product. I like the purple buckets and having the salt in a bag within the bucket is nice. These are some of the reasons why AquaForest is my preference. I also only have a small nano so two buckets of salt get me through the year. I’m ok with $135 in salt for the year. If I had a monster system, then maybe I’d try it, but idk.
