    Coral Reef Red Sea Salt - 87% natural???

    What all of you think of the Coral Reef Red Sea Salt? I am disappointed with Instant Ocean Salt.

    I will try to use other one. Anyone has experience with it?

    Question

    What are you disappointed with IO, what problems did you arise. I never knew anyone that used the Red sea salt to tell you about there.

    I started using Coral Life and now I am back to IO salt.

    I do a lot of water changes and it was expensive.

    I got a great deal on some salt and could not give that up. I used IO for years before the problem so I though I would give them a chance.

    So far so good.

    I bought enough for 2500 gallons which will last me 6 months. I hope I did the right thing.

    I know there are a lot of debates about salt but personally I have never used anything but IO and have never had any problems.

    I use to use Instant Ocean but switched to their Reef Crystals and had better results. Now I am using Natural Sea Water and my corals love it. My cynarians,mushrooms.anenomes,fish,zoos,buttons,etc ,look alot more colorful

    Dive_Master;if you do not add an air stone or powerhead for 24 or more hours and make sure temp is same , undiluted salt can burn our pets.....be kind to your reefs.

    Smile Re: Coral Reef Red Sea Salt - 87% natural???

    I started my 30g. tank with Red Sea Coral Pro and still am using it. My tank has been up for almost a year now and all my livestock is thriving great. Corals are happy. I use only R/O water with it. And always bring well mixed new water to temp. before adding. Anyway, I am very happy wit the Red Sea Coral Pro.
