What Arti salt mix does everyone use?
« on: April 29, 2011, 21:41:37 »
Starting to make/mix up my own saltwater now, and I know there are quite a bit of different mixes out there, just wondering what everyone use's/ recommends...

I was thinking TM Pro Reef, or Sea Crystals(which I have half a bag of from a previous owner)

And also what every one uses to mix up there recipe's with... I have some 55 gallon food drums I was gonna use with a power head to mix it up... i think this is a pretty common setup, however was wondering what else there is, or any suggestions on the mixer(I stated power head but not sure on the GPH though nor how long to let it mix)

I just use the Reef Salt with RO/DI water. Currently use RSCP but when it is gone I am switching to Reef Crystals. If you daring enough check this out. http://www.ohioreef.com/index.php?topic=10093.0

I use Red Sea Coral Pro (RSCP) as well.

I really like it and it works for ME :)

Salt is like everything else... We all have different opinions on the brands.

I myself dont have a lot of the SPS corals and the only additives I use are Kent Nano parts A and B. I also am only running a 37g and a 20g grow out tank that I do 10% water changes on once every week or two. So I just mix mine up as needed.

Currently doing a 75g build | http://ohioreef.com/index.php?topic=16275.0| tanks of the past : 26g Bowfront LPS and Fish| http://www.ohioreef.com/index.php?topic=4858.0 || 37g a little of everything | http://www.ohioreef.com/index.php?topic=7751.0

I use reef crystals.  I have two 33 gallons brutes.  I have buffered RODI in one for top off, and I make 30 gallons of waterchange water at a time in the other.
