Just wanted to poll everone on what salt mix everyone is using. I am currently using D-D H2Ocean and has worked well for me but I am going to try Red Sea Coral Pro. Both D-D and RSCP is manufactured in the same factory and the salt is from the Red Sea. I know there will be lots of opinions on this but its always an interested topic.

Instant ocean.. consistent readings for me.. 10.2 dkh, 1300 mg, 440 calc.. $40 for a 200 gallon box.. pretty hard to beat..

I personally use tropic marin. Seems to be doing well and bucket is clean after mixing.

Looks like Reef Crystals is winning by far. I'm starting Red Sea Coral Pro at this moment.

Well since UCSB shut down and I can't get NSW anymore, I've been using bith IO and Reef Crystals, which ever is on sale at PetSmart when I go to get a 150G bucket.

Hey Crusty, have you tried to order from Dr. Foster & Smith....they will price match with other websites and have a flat shipping fee, (I think $5.99).

I've ordered the 200G box of IO from them in the past when it was on sale and had a flat shipping fee. Otherwise, it's cheapier to buy it at Petsmart.
