Sounds good I’ll look into it thank you for the suggestion

Thank you for the details response

Tbh I want to make everything as efficient as possible and that’s why I want to cut back on water changes.Tbh for the water changes doesn’t take me that much time I made it really easy for myself to get it done, but I like to try new things and see how easy it can be or it can get.

It’s a 90-gallon tank, and mainly I just want to stay consistent with what I’m doing. I don’t want to change something and end up with problems again. I had a rough start when I first got into the hobby, and I definitely don’t want to go through that again . I just feel like any change is risky...

I want to thank everyone who answered my questions about which salt I should use and whether I should be dosing trace elements. I was just thinking about dosing more than the main things I already add, and maybe trying something different. The reason I asked about trace elements is because I’m...

My question to you guys, what trace elements do you guys dose or what should I be dosing other then Alk,cal, and mag?

That’s good to hear, and that’s exactly why I made this post. I haven’t been in the hobby as long as many of you, so I really want to hear from people who have tried different salts and actually seen a difference. If you’ve used a bunch of salt mixes and never noticed any change in your tank...

Thanks for the detailed breakdown really helpful. I’m mainly looking to switch because Instant Ocean keeps leaving that brown residue in my mixing container, and I’m tired of constantly cleaning it. And From what I’ve seen online, that it mixes very clean, dissolves fast, and can help bring out...

Thanks for sharing your experience. That brown buildup from Instant Ocean is exactly why I’m trying to move away from it I’m constantly having to clean my mixing container. I’m still deciding which salt to switch to you guys gave me other option to think about, but if I end up going with Tropic...

Thanks for the detailed info. Good to know your alk is stable and the mix is clean. I’ll watch out for the missing traces and the fine dust. Appreciate it!

Thank you

Thank you for that suggestion

I am considering switching from instant ocean orange bucket to Aquaforest Reef Salt for my system. I’ve heard consistently positive feedback about this salt from other reef keepers online, including its clean mix, stable parameters, and overall reliability. If anyone here has experience using...

I’m definitely down to learn how to do that! It’d be really helpful for everyone in the community.
