Instant Ocean Sea Salt (10 gal)

So far so good pertaining the packaging and looks of the salt (it came out very fine like sugar and not clumpy from within the bag) . I have used this salt before with good results before switching to RSCP and have come to give it another chance because RSCP is too expensive! From what I have read, theres not much difference between this salt and more expensive ones. I will begin using one of the 50 gallon bags tomorrow, and the opened bag will been placed in a 5G bucket that I have left from my other salt. My salinity came out at about 1.027ppm (which is just a little more than I want) with two cups of salt and 4G of water. I will come back here to talk about how much calcium theres in the new salt and how my SPS and other corals react after a few months. I do dose KM nanoreef part A and B twice a week to keep my calcium from depleting because I have some big SPS colonies.

Professional aquariums use this salt. Enough said! Ok, but theres more to say! Heres when you should use this versus using the Reef Crystals version or other reef salts. USE THIS IF You are doing Fish only You are doing Fish with SOFT corals You have LPS and SPS but are dosing kalkwasser or 2-part to replenish calcium and mg. USE A REEF SALT IF If you have LPS and SPS corals but arent dosing (kalkwasser, 2-part, etc.) This isnt always true but thats my general advice for salts. Its economical and mixes well. Lots of great reef tanks use IO and it has a proven track record.

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!!

With the Red Tide threat in the Gulf Coast of Florida this is the perfect substitute for my salt water aquarium. I have never had a problem.

I like this product, but but I think that some product was lost

Made tank come alive with water chsnges

Its salt for my marine tank. The fish seem happy with it. They havent complained that its too salty (thats what a Hydrometer is for). Beats the hell out of using a salt shaker from my wifes curio cabinet and shaking it over a 350 gallon tank. Id need several thousand shakers for that. Ill update this review once I hear back from my fish whether they like this brand or perhaps want me to switch brands. Oh, and there have been no deaths in the fish family after using it so I guess its working.

Instant Ocean Sea Salt is my go-to aquarium marine salt for my brackish opae`ula (red Hawaiian volcano shrimp) tank, brine shrimp cultures and marine algal cultures. Ive never had a single issue with this salt. Its perfectly formulated and it has a lower total heavy metal percentage than most other aquarium marine salts on the market, including Reef Crystals (though all are safe when used as directed). It mixes very quickly, no CO2 injection required just an airstone or a filter agitating the water. If youre in the market for a low-cost, high-quality aquarium marine salt then Instant Ocean is a fantastic choice.
