So what salt do you use?

Re: oceanic vs instant ocean

I have used Reef Crystals, Kent, Tropic Marine, Oceanic, IO I don't hesitate to try different salts but RC and TM are all I use now.

The new TM PRO Reef formula is what I have used for th last 3 months and love it but if you don't have a calcium/kalk reactor it might not be a good choice.
