great time tested brand. mixes well
time tested salt that the pros use. Well priced and no need to get fancy higher priced salts. Youāre going to end up dosing calcium and alk anyway if you keep stony corals.

Consistent!
Iāve used Instant Ocean Reef Crystals for a long time, and it continues to deliver great results. The mix dissolves quickly, produces clear water, and holds stable parameters ā calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium are always right where they should be. I mix mine in a 32-gallon Brute can with a heater and small pump, and itās usually ready to use in under an hour. No residue on the heater or pump and no cloudy water. Corals have good color and polyp extension, and Iāve had excellent growth over time. Pro tip: always pour the salt into the water (not the other way around) and use a powerhead for even mixing ā it keeps it from clumping and helps the parameters stay consistent. Iāve tried a few other brands, but Reef Crystals gives the best balance of quality and cost. Perfect for routine water changes and dependable results.

Excellent product. Worth the price!
This is the best aquarium salt mix on the market (for the price!). It isn't cheap, but this mix does its job a lot better than Marine Crystals. I can't speak for some of the premium brands that cost double what this does, but I can't imagine that they would be worthwhile investments. My reef tank appreciates the quality of the water, and I've had no issues getting the salt to dissolve by hand in just a few seconds.

need improvement on.....
reef crystals by far the base reef salt there is hands down IMO Great salt box was damages badly poor handling in shipping, on that note -shipping 1 star-. Inside of the box, 4 bags of these reef crystals seem to have Heald up to the abuse of the shipping. but with that being said. Two bags seem to have been vac sealed. Good news. The other 2 bags have a good amount of air in them. I rolled up the bags. to see if there was an air leak of some kind which I not sure about it. As far as the packing goes plain no writing to indicate if it is REEF CRYSTALS OR instant ocean salt mix So I am asking IO to at lest put a libel on the bags. if they can say "NOT FOR SALE IN PRINT THEN A STICKER or something showing what in the bags. So for poor shipping and handling And no libel on the bags a 1 for shipping a 3 on boxing and inside bag libeling of bags 5 on salt mix

Great price for $65.00 with free shipping. Have been using Reef Crystals for about eight months now without any problems... creates good stable parameters for a reef aquarium stocked with softies, SPS, and LPS. Previously was using DD H2Ocean - but I recommend Reef Crystals as it is better value and does a better job IMO

reef crystals, whadya gonna say? theyre reef crystals. i've been using this brand since the 1980s. i think. i cant remember, hang on a minute.... yeah, yeah. it was the eighties when i first had my shallow 20. we used to think saltwater fish were expensive back then! holy moly! have you seen the price of those new designer clowns!? i wouldnt be putting any of those carpet crunchies in anything shallower than 19 inches. and with a tight fitting lid!... shallow 20.. pfft..most expensive aquarium of my life. anyways... yeah reef crystals. been using them for, holy moly, decades. good salt for your tank. good for your corals. check your sg regularely .

La mejor opción costo-beneficio para acuario de arrecife. Una menor necesidad de aporte extra de alcalinidad, calcio y magnesio.
