    Like to ask the reefers out there to give there opinions on sea salts. I once used Oceanic Natural Sea Salt and I remember having lots of trouble with the Ph, Ca, and the KH. I hear Instant Ocean reef crystals is good. The price of the salt doesn't really make a difference to me. I'm really...

    I use instant ocean salt mix, and i think i didn't close the package all the way, and let air in, and now it's kind of hard and doesn't dissolve as well. I mix it with warm water and let it sit overnight, but there's still a tiny bit that doesn't dissolve. It goes away after about 10 min in the...
