Coral are happy
I sure see a difference in price! I think I'll stick with I/O. Thanks for the benefit of your experience.I tried most major salt brands over the past decade. Everytime I used a brand of salt on one of the systems for at least 6 months to a year. I don’t see much difference among different brands.
I have been using IO for 20 years with no issues.
Yes price is the major difference. If higher price salt leads to better coral growth and color, I don’t mind the price. But I don’t see that. I don’t care about the brown stuff on the wall of the mixing buckets, that is due to bacteria growth and anti caking reagent in salt mix. It does not affect water quality.I sure see a difference in price! I think I'll stick with I/O. Thanks for the benefit of your experience.
