Instant Ocean Sea Salt (10 gal)

After having a couple of hermit crabs die. I decided I will do my best to do everything right. They seem to love sitting in the saltwater pool. They will pee in the freshwater but not the salt. LOL

Mixes very well with little effort

I have been a reef keeper for over twenty years. I have tried virtually every salt, and this is still probably the most cost effective and consistent salt options around. It will leave residue in a mixing station, but that never seems to impact fish or corals. It just means if you use a mixing station you will probably have to clean it out every so often.

Makes you really thirsty though.

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.

This salt mix has been around since the beginning of time. It is affordable, mixes up easily and quickly with no reside in the container, and it is consistent. I have used this in fish only systems along with reef setups. It works equally well with both. If you have a soft coral or LPS tank there is really no need to be using more expensive salt mixes. Unless you have a lot of LPS and SPS corals, at which point it does not matter what salt mix you buy because you will be dosing daily or weekly anyway. The best deal is the 200 gallon box when it is on sale for $40, and if you have prime it ships for free. How much better can a deal get?

It works great so far in my nano tank. I cant really say much. Some people dont like this brand but with my tank I see no issues although I am a beginner.

I like using this salt for my tank. Been using it for years, and Ive never had an issue. I dont like the smaller plastic bags vs the tub, but I guess its easier to ship.

Works great

Over the past 5 years, I have never ran into any problems with this brand. It delivers what it promises and It dissolves fairly quickly in the water. I have a 20 gallon tank and it takes half a bag to fill my tank. A full bag carries enough salt for a 50 gallon tank.
