Here We Go Again; Salt

[heath]

I am/will be setting up a 75 gal tank for CORALS... I need to buy salt so, what is the best. I know that we have discussed this recently but there is no clear information.. hoping that the experts will chime in here..

 

[TORX]

To some up salt discussions, it is like buying a car. Everyone has an opinion about which is better and which is garbage. It is mostly just what works for you. Seeing that you already have a FOWLR, I would suggest you just keep with the IO and if you ever need to set up dosing for the coral tank, do so then. I personally have liked H2O salt, but I may re evaluate at the end of the year after I have been using for that time.

Like Torx, I really like H2O. I don't have to dose with it, but do weekly water changes and am only keeping LPS and softies (no SPS, except for one piece that Riley was kind enough to give me)

iO orange will be fine and give your Lps some extra calcium for their skeleton.

IO reef crystals ( orange ). It's cheap and does the trick.

Ive been using h20 for awhile now. And will probably stick with it, thought about it for awhile.

i use reef crystals and I dose .... works for me on both nano and my cube 93 as well

I am hoping that I don't have to dose.. or that's the plan..

 

[BigReefer]

i dont find dosing hard ... once u have it all setup ... i think its about blance ... and dosing let me be more auto mated.

 

[reeferkeeper420]

I still dose using h20. Itll all depend on your corals and consumption, whether or not youll have to dose. I have a mixed reef that is Sps dominated so theres no way a weekly water change could keep up with my tanks consumption.

thanks for all the great advise guys and gals, I think it will be H2O...
