Instant Ocean Sea Salt (10 gal)

Been using this brand for over a decade to make brine for my hermit crab and hes big and old, so this works great. (I dont have a saltwater fishtank.)

Instructions are easy to read, great value for your $$, and easy to store. We use a gallon jug for measurements which are conveniently on the package! Quick shipping is a great perk!!

Its not just for my fish tank. Its NOT marketed as food grade. Instant Ocean Sea Salt MSDS reads nearly identical to Morton Sea Salt MSDS. Instant Ocean taste better and cost less. Cons; no anti-clumping chemicals (also a Pro - no chemicals) so it hardens on wet days - I put dry rice in my shaker.

Ive been a saltwater hobbyist (45 gallon) for almost 10 years now and since the very beginning have been using this brand of salt with no problems at all. The pricing is always competitive compared to other name brands but the salt to me is always the same no matter which brand you go with. To mix this salt I use R/O water in a glass jar, pour in the salt and then fill with water. I shake it for a few seconds and let it sit till the salt dissolves. When the salt dissolves I start pouring slowly into the tank and measuring the salt amount with my meter. Other brand name salts that compare to this one are smaller grained and dissolve faster but for me, I have no issue waiting and Ive noticed that on occasion over the years passed that if I do get impatient and pour some undissolved salt into the tank it doesnt seem to harm the fish or coral- some salts are not recommended to pour directly into the tank without dissolving first like I mention above in a glass jar with R/O water. Overall I favor this brand and have used it for so many years that switching now seems pointless. Id recommend to others as Ive had no problems with this product over the years.

I opened my box, and their is an inch hole in the bag and the salt has drawn in moisture. I’m sure I can still use the salt because it dissolves in the water anyways. But when I opened the box, salt spilt on my carpet. I have ordered several bags of salt before and haven’t had any problems. Not sure if the bag got ripped open from handling or it was sent like this to me. Also noticed the heater I ordered was opened. I do have the heater plugged in and it is operating properly.

Wonderful for jellyfish! Don’t waste money on mini packets of special Marine salt! Just use 1/2 cup per gallon of distilled water for your water changes. Specific gravity and pH are wonderful and I’ve been using this for months and the jellies are thriving!

I guess it must be ocean salt then. I didnt lab test it but it certainly is salt of some kind according to my salinity meter. I needed it for healing tanks and the red clawed crab that likes brackish water. It is ground finely so it dissolves easy which is great. So far, none of the pets disagree with it so take it for what its worth. This wasnt the most expensive one but considering I needed much less and it is salt from the ocean...its kinda pricey in general. Some aquarium hobbyists say you can just use kosher salt for a fraction of the price but ocean salt is supposed to be more beneficial for the aquatics.

I’m not sure why but my salt is as hard as a rock now. I keep the bag closed when I’m not using it, but it’s like cement now. Other than that, it dissolves well and my fish aren’t dead so

I bought a bag for my saltwater tank. It works great and definitely serves its purpose. It was a great purchase.

Ive been using Instant Ocean for over Thirty years. I started using it when I started my Hobby, when I became a research scientist and throughout the Thirty five years I ran an Aquarium business. I cannot recommend this salt enough.. Reef Tank, Invert Tank or a Simple Table top tank. Ive installed aquariums up to Ten Thousand Gallons, and as small as 1 gallon. They were all filled with Instant Ocean.. Now that I am almost retired?.. Getting it delived to your door for this price?... Priceless!
