Auto Water Change Salt

[bradenr]

Looking for some recommendations from people running Auto Water Changes. I have been using Tropic Marin Salt for the past 3 years b/c how clean it mixes. With the shortage going on with their salt I need a replacement. With running my Auto Water Change I need a salt that can sit mixed for about a month and won’t dirty up my mixing container like reef crystals does. Those that run a AWC what salt are you using.

I'm not running AWC, but I do leave saltwater in my brute for weeks months at a time with no build up or precipitation. I use red sea blue bucket.

I used normal IO in mine. I think its a good choice. Better then Reef Crystals.

I've used both the LIveAquaria salt, which i believe is just repackaged Fritz salt. And the Brightwell Neomarine. The neomarine mixes with less buildup (both are a lot less than RC), but takes longer to mix. The LIveAquaria mixed faster, but did appear at least to have a little more buildup in the bucket.

Both stayed mixed really well. Most of the salt mixes except for the EDIT: Red Sea Coral Pro stuff will mix and stay mixed for a long time according to a BRS video testing this concept.
