I've used several bands of aquarium salt and found this product to be one of the best values for it cost. It's easy to use and I would recommend this product to anyone with a fish only / soft coral system.

I found the product to be OK, however I found that it took a lot more work to get the salt totally dissolved
|
| Liked about it |
it is fairly inexpensive
it is available in different sizes including one that makes only 5 gallons
the directions were basic and simple
|
| Didn't like |
The small size does not come in a resealable pouch
it took more work for it to dissolve

Best one there in my opinion
| Comments |
I have used this since I started my first salt water aquarium and I have never had any issues. It is easily mixed and everything seems to get along great with it. I have never heard anything bad about Instant Ocean and I have never experienced anything bad yet with it.

Great Salt for Fish Only
| General |
This salt is great for a Fish Only system. If I were still running FO, this would be what I would use. It mixed well and was consistent. My only problem was that some of the levels were low (Calcium and Magnesium off the top of my head) Overall a very good salt mix. |

Little lite on some of the chemicals.

Good Bucket-O-Salt
| General |
i have had a bucket for 3 weeks so far and i like it. i have made around 50 gallons of salt at 1.026sg and it doesn't look like i even put a dent in the bucket yet, i still have a ton left. also it has a good level of calcium in it my test kit reads 350 when i mix water up to 1.026sg. |
| Liked about it |
it mixes quickly and does not cloud water. free bucket
|
| Didn't like |
nothing to complain about except for the price, but you do get a free bucket!

Good as first part of two part salt solution

Mix with a 50/50 ratio of Oceanic salt to acheive a better trace element/buffer mix. Personally, I can tell a difference in my coral inhabitants between using a ratio mix and using this product alone. |

IO Salt Review
| General |
Overall very happy with it in FO setting. I switched to I/O Reef Crystals after the first two buckets of I/O but if I ever set up another FO, it will be with I/O salt. |
| Liked about it |
This was the first salt I started with. It was a Fish Only tank (for the first few weeks) and I had no issues with it. Even when I went to softies I still had no issues with it. Mixed very easily without cloudiness. Overall extremely pleased with the salt mix.
|
| Didn't like |
Nothing that I didn't like about it. Perhaps that it didn't mix itself but otherwise no complaints with it.

Good price, easy to obtain

i keep zoas, rics, shrooms, leathers and some LPS, they all do well with this salt and no other additives. |
