Salt Mix

[yazid]

I used Corallife but found out from other international web site/forum that it sucks. It seems to be the worst of all the salts comparing the solubility, minerals content, salinity, alkalinity...etc.

I personnaly don't like the residue at the bottom and a layer of film it produce.

Instant Ocean salt was given the thumbs up from most international web site/forum.

Last week bought myself 20Kg Instant Ocean from Keong Seong for $60.

Immediately test it by doing 10% partial water change.

No residue, no layer of film and dissolve so fast. I'm already impressed.

whats the price of the biosal and where u get em ?

No choice lah - must get from the most expensive aquarium shop in Singapore - Aquatechnic! I think I bought one box for S$55 - quite some time back.

One box of 20kg is for 600 litres.

I am using tropic marin, when i first mixed my salt, it went cloudy then clear in 1 day.

Now i use the remaining salt (no lumps!) and it stays cloudy a little longer like maybe 1-2 days. I use a powerhead to run it.

I had no idea trop marin is so expensive by a factor of 2. Is that the market price for it?

I had tried DeepOcean, Coralife & Tropic Marin. I must say Tropic Marin is obviously superior in solubility. Also Tropic Marin seems to be more concentrated as particles are very fine (does not clump together). I keeping to TM bec it seems to be the most readily available brand around.

plus tropic marin seem to have the most important trace elements?
