What salt mix do you use?

[E.intheC]

I'm sure this question has been asked a few 1000 times, but let's try to update this a bit.

What salt mix do you use?

I'm currently using Reef Crystals, but the tested (not by me) reading says the Alk is at 13.

That's high IMO, especially because I'm starting to get the tank ready for Zeovit, which suggests a lower Alk value, something in the 8-9 range.

Also, if you vote "other" please list what you use. Thanks.

I have tried coralife and reed crystals and coralife has always shown obvious improvement.

normal instant ocean. personally i feel jonrobbins pod cast is correct about salt... claiming most salt is the same and companys buy it out and add tiny bits of elements here and there but when it comes down to it, salt is salt.
