Which salt is better?

[Jimaroon]

Hi ppl,

I'm just wondering is there anyone using Tropic Marin sea salt? Is there any difference compared to Coralife? Or is Red Sea sea salt better? Any comments?

says it all

BUT, it from an Aqua Craft website so the integrity of the test results is questionable. top few brands of salts(according to the table) are all from Aqua Craft... hmm....

There has been a thread somewhere before on the opinion of the best available salt for marine aquarium. It seems to point towards Kent Marine Salt......i am using Kent and is happy with the results.

some links about salt.

some say that these are biased.

however i find that marine environment salt is better than some of the others i have used before. i have tested my newly mixed coralife salt and found that there were nitrates present. shocking, but true.

anyway i was thinking, these results may be biased but they may also be true.

up to you to decide.

just wanted to share, good luck!

For me i think MARINE ENVIROMENT is the best salt. I am using it and is very pleased with the given results.

I think I agree to this. My friend said that he uses Coralife salt and complains the nitrate level always high.

I'm using Coralife right now, perhaps after reading those links I think I should re-consider about using other brands.

I uses corallife and my NO3 is zero.

I uses corallife and my NO3 is zero.

Hmm... anyone else who have tested the Coralife salt on No3 in fresh water before and after mixing the salt? Using Marine Environment now and tinking about changing to Coralife to save costs....
