Brands Of Salt

[brendac]

Can I use 2 different brands of salt? I still have some left from my bag, but I will need more and my pet sore is using another brand now. The brand I have left is called CoralLife Salt... and the one she has now is called something like Natural Ocean Salt

Using two different types of salt mix is fine. However, I would not use anything besides ocean pure pro, reef crystal, or instant ocean. These salt are pretty consistant and produce better water parameters.

For what your wanting to do mixing brands is just fine.......Makes no difference in what brands it is.

I use coralife and works great, no issues at all, great salt!
I mostly used it in the begining cause I buy it by the 150g bucket, but once I used it for a while I found it works great, so I stick to coralife now.
Do a search on instant ocean salt and make sure no issues with it before you start using it, thats what i would do.
It does make a difference what type of salt you get, do your homework.
I remember seeing some posts about having issues with IO, but I have never used it, I have not had a reason to switch to anything else, coralife works great.
Hope this helps!

in my case IO has given my a high ph reading so I've steered clear of that line
