Salt

[SAT]

Ron,

Congratulations on another fascinating ReefKeeping article! Now I feel really smart for filling my tank with Crystal Sea last month, particularly since it was selling locally for less than $20 for a 150G box (about 1/2 the price of IO). I guess this puts to rest the claim that manufacturers can't make a clean salt at a reasonable price.

Hi Stuart,

I wish I felt as smart. I have a couple of buckets of Instant Driveway Deicer to get rid of. :D

Yes, I think it does. There may be other good salts out there, too. I was quite limited by costs in what I could afford to purchase for testing.

As an aside, I thougt that there would be some small difference between salt mixes - maybe on the order of 10% +/- or so. The magnitude of differences that I found surprised me, and the lack of differences between the better salts and NSW aslo surprised me.

:D
