Instant Ocean Sea Salt (10 gal)

Good price and accurate readings of specific gravity. Trace elements included, such as calcium.

and affordable salt mix. Mixes up nice and clear after a couple hours being heated and circulated. The price is right. I’ve been using it for 15 years and never had an issue with my tanks.

10/10 I use it for my hermits salt water I just put a pinch in there when I refill it and it’s good to go!!! My hermit uses the water and has for a couple months and is perfectly fine so much cheaper than crab solution!!!

Ive been using this on my tank for years. Its always been a decent price and has worked well for my 75gal tank.

I have used so many salts over the years I have forgotten some of the ones that Ive used. I used stuff that ran me $120 for a Tall 5 gallon bucket (probably like 7.5 gallons) that was lab certified to be this or that. I started to realize that I kept buying different salt every time it was time to buy salt, one thing I have learned is that consistency does pay off. I dont know if this is the best salt in the world, but Im sticking with it. It is economical, it dissolves easily, my water parameters test good with it. I run a mixed reef with it and corals are doing their thing, fish are swimming, and everyone seems happy.

The salt dissolved quickly as stated on the box. The reason I did not give five stars is the box was already open and the top was ripped open with part of the top not even all there. The salt is five stars, but I deducted one star which in my view is Amazons bad for shipping a box that was probably a return. fortunately, the salt was still sealed in the plastic bag that contained the salt.

Been using this brand for over a decade to make brine for my hermit crab and hes big and old, so this works great. (I dont have a saltwater fishtank.)

Its not just for my fish tank. Its NOT marketed as food grade. Instant Ocean Sea Salt MSDS reads nearly identical to Morton Sea Salt MSDS. Instant Ocean taste better and cost less. Cons; no anti-clumping chemicals (also a Pro - no chemicals) so it hardens on wet days - I put dry rice in my shaker.

This salt is good mixes fast

This is a great product with the correct salinity. This is an absolute necessity if you have hermit crabs. We did not know this was necessary in our tank and our crabs went several months without it. We added it to their sand/substrate and put a dish of it in their tank. The substrate needs to be approximately 6 to 8 inches deep (or 3 to 4 times the height of your largest crabs shell) and should be Sandcastle consistency. We added approximately 1 gallon of salt water to accomplish this. The crabs spent about one week exploring the new sand and soaking in the salt water. Then they finally tunneled down for their first molt. This probably saved their lives. If hermit crabs cannot molt, they cannot survive. For more information on this I recommend a website called hermitcrabpatch.com. The information the pet stores give and the information thats generally available is completely wrong and is very unhealthy and often fatal for hermit crabs I highly recommend this product to anyone with hermit crabs.
