IS AQUA FOREST BETTER THAN RED SEA?

[reef jacob]

I've used many brands such as Salinity, Kent, Red sea and Instant ocean. So I'm just wondering what's the hype about Aqua Forest? What makes Aqua Forest so much better than everything else?

Who says its better than everything else?

I am going to guess its the probiotics?

I personally don't think any one brand is better than another....just depends on what numbers they mix up at and what you are trying to keep.

I use this but the reef salt not the probiotic (no need of it) and I would say it's good but I don't see how you could say it's better or worse than any other. I've used tons (and I mean tons) of red sea (both coral pro and reef salt) and it's a good salt I'd recommend but in truth the best salt is the one that matches what you want from it. I match my parameters to that of the salt, so don't want elevated levels, so a more natural leveled salt is best for me. If I wanted to buffer levels with water changes then a salt with higher levels would be better.

I have used the red sea coral Pro, then switched to the Aquaforest Probiotic and reef salt. It is a lot close to natural sea water, but the probiotics has amino acids and other bacteria. For the last 5 months I have been using the probiotic salt. My last bucket my fiancée accidentally bought the reef salt, so I have been using that so it doesn't go to waste. Everything has been great. In my opinion it is all about what you like and making sure all the husbandry/cleaning/dosing is done right, which makes any salt mix work.
