Single Brand or Multiple

[Mattgee]

So my question is probably one asked multiple times already but here goes;

Equipment aside is it best to stick to multiple brands or just go with one when it comes to such things as salt mixes, dosing and other supplements; even in some aspects filter media. I’m not on about specifics such as the Triton method but more like Aquaforest Salt whilst dosing Red Sea components and using Quantum nutrient control products.

Do brands products compliment each other and work best when used together? ( I know the manufacturers would like us to think this) or does it really not matter.

I ask because I generally shop around more for price and reviews than brand name and currently have products from many various manufacturers.... Am I best picking one and sticking with them or just go for best review and price when needed..

Thanks

I have a mix of things: HW reefer salt; BRS alk, cal, mag, Carbon, and GFO; icecap co2 media; Aquamaxx biopellets. I find something that works for me and typically stick with it.

I use Aquaforest products and according to their probiotic system they work best together

I use some of this and some of that. I have never tried one of the systems.

I mix and match things according to my needs. It works well enough.
