What do you think is the best salt for a Reef Tank?????

[east tx]

I was just wondering what brand of salt everbody uses, and likes the best?
Or does one of the brands have more vit. in it? They all might be the same really don't know.
Thanks

Hello,I use reef crystals,works for me.

I use instant ocean or reef crystals. They are both made by the same company and both work fine for me.

I've used Reef Crystals and Instant Ocean, I still use IO because its less expensive and has less phosphates in it.

Sorry for the miss-spell (instant) ocean is what i use

I use Red Sea's salt, when I can find it, as it is the only sea salt I've found that does not register phosphates using my test kit.
BTW: IO and Reef Crystals, do register phosphates, despite what the pkg label says.

I also use instant ocean and it works great in my reef

instant ocean from the get go.
lfs will sell me the IO in the bucket that mixes to 200 gals, for $39.00 bucks -
about 20 cents/gal ... not too bad I guess.

I/O

Kent Marine.

Used both I/O and Kent Marine. Noticed a difference when Kent Marine was used. Snails became more active after water change than with I/O. Also noticed more growth activity on LR. Not real sure if it's was the salt though. Could have just been the water change. But for now, I'm staying with Kent Marine.

I have used I/O and reef crystals. Just depends on what is on sale.
