ESV or Coral Pro Salt ?

[andy020]

I’ve been dosing B-ionic 1 and 2 and noticed that it’s more stable over the Red Sea A/B

Also like that it has major/minor trace added
Also ordered ESV salt and will start dosing their TE Plus

I used to use ESV (for ~2.5 years). Recently switched to TM. Never used Coral Pro.

In all honesty, any of the popular/known salts will work. Name doesn't really matter. What IS important is to use a salt that provides -- or is closest to -- the Alk, Ca, and Mg levels you want for your tank.

For example, ESV was a great salt. However it mixes up with an Alk of ~9 dKH. Over time I came to realize that my alveopora are 'happier' when I keep my alk ~7. So I switched to TM because it is one of the few salts that mixes up that mixes up that low.

Nice! I have a bunch of brs 2 part. I’ll be dosing that until that runs out. After that I’ll probaby give esv a try.

Thats one of the major reasons i like esv...you can equally adjust the liquid components to match your alk.
