Crystal Seas or Coralife

[von]

I was using Oceanic salt but the place I was buying it from is closing the doors. The only kind I can get right now is Crystal Seas or Coralife. I do have a reef tank. Does anyone have any experience with either of these?
Thanks!

Why wouldn't you use these? Why are they bad? Thanks!

I don't think that the two salt are bad if for Marine fish only but it does not give you the other mineral that other salt have from what I read, search and understand. Try to search online the other different salt and compare it the two salt that you mention and see what you like and don't like about. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I personally use the Kent Marine or ReefCrysal salt. Those two type of salt gives you a better cal., free pho and nitrate, gives you better trace mineral that found in the water when you mix it in IMO.

I've been trying to find a salt study and haven't found one. I'll keep searching. We're having bad weather right now and the power keeps surging so it seems as soon as I hit the search button, the power flickers enough to shut off the computer. Maybe that's a sign for me to stop for tonight. Thanks for your help!
