I have always used Instant Ocean since I started the SW hobby back in 75. Its always worked, available and affordable

I have been using Coralife for about a year now, but thanks to Rayjay, I am begining to reconsider. Coralife has the second highest amount of copper? Wow!

I started with Kent, switched to IO for 400 gallons, now going back to Kent in about 50 gallons. I think Kent supported better coralline growth.

The box said "Use Win 95 or better", I chose better so I run OS/2!

I have used Kent since day one and have been very happy with it.

Tried Tropic Marine to Lou I switched to Instant o.
b/c these are really the only 2 salts the lfs sell but the IO is cheaper and I can't tell the diff.

Instant Ocean! Hey, bazillions of clownfish can't be wrong.

IO all the way! I tried Coralife but had too much phosphate. Switched over to IO no more film algae.

To the people using Kent salt how do you find your calcium levels sitting and what are you using to keep it up. I am thinking seriously of going back to Tropic Marin because I can't seem to keep my calcium levels high enough. They sit fairly steady around 300. Thanks
