salt mix

[dodge4x4man68]

what salt mix is best for a reef tank. there are just sooo many of them and I dont want to get started out with the wrong one

i dont think it matters imo but i may be wrong just check to see if it is phosphate and nitrate free and should be sweet as

i personally use red sea its really good

i use red sea also....

i use oceanic it is nitrate and phosphate free and it has calcium in it. it helps with he clarity of the water and it disolves pretty fast

I use instant ocean on my FO tanks and kent marine on my reef. I think they work very well, and i have used Oceanic before, which is a very good salt mix as well.

red sea works ok, i usually buy my water premixed i think they all use IO (cheaper)
but when i'm filling the 1 gal or a 2 gall for like a nano macroalgea tank or something i use the red sea cause they com in 5 gallon bags
