Lazyreefer Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Anybody know of a local store that carries tropic Marin classic salt? Marine depot is charging 100$ for the 200 gallon container and bulk reef supply 87$ 🤦🏻♂️ Seems messed up too me they are hiking prices but what do I know, thanks for any help!

Burningbaal Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 87 doesn't seem crazy for the pro mix @200g, I think that's what it was at BRS six months so, or nearly so.I'd love to find a dealer nearby, though! I was looking for the TM floating hydrometer a while back and couldn't find it anywhere. Eventually BRS started carrying it, but I was surprised no one around had it Edit: I'm in North Seattle and don't even know of options up here Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea a local source for the classic salt would be nice for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matteo Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Just saying but Instant Ocean Reef Salt is probably the best salt out there. It is the number one used among hobbyist, science research facilities, and city aquariums and is also the best bang for your buck. I think all the fancy expensive salt is just name and they say it;s purer etc. Instant Ocean is known for their constancy and is nitrate and phosphate free. I'm sure people will argue the latter of it, but at the end of the day salt is salt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been down that path before, there is a significant difference in the quality from tropic Marin to instant ocean that is well documented. Also mixes faster, leaves less residue, also allows for less need for trace elements added etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of courseIs there a lot of marketing that makes differences between salts sound more interesting than it really is? Of courseAre there certain choices with decisive advantages above IO?
