I’m tired of the stress of not being able to get this salt and am ready to change brands. Looking for recommendations from those who have had success changing. What did you change to and how was the transition?
Tropic Marin Pro Reef, bye bye

This salt has been a hot topic the past few weeks!
The summary from what I can gather: Red Sea Coral Pro or ESV B-Ionic seem like good substitutes, while Fritz should be avoided like it's carrying Covid

Crazy what a marketing video can do
Not sure if it is a demand or a supply issue though
Lou Ekus from Tropic Marin has said the supply has been there but the demand has gone way up, but BRS posted on facebook yesterday that is was a bottleneck in supply.

I switched to IO Reef Crystals, slow change of 3 water changes over 3 weeks . Everything is doing great, possibly better to be honest.
I doubt I will ever go back to TMP, to costly and honestly I saw less coral growth with it.

Same here.
Found a bucket of TMP, $179.00.
Not a chance I’d buy that.
Salt is salt, but reefers, all different.

This salt has been a hot topic for a lot longer than a few weeks.
I wouldn't discredit a salt because a couple people on a post from yesterday don't like it. Fritz is a good salt.

I don't doubt the quality of Tropic Marin but it feels like the same issue as i saw with Triton. Despite really hoping to give the method a try i'm not about to cause needless instability due to not being able to get the product.

Instant Ocean is everywhere, I wouldn't be surprised to see it on the shelf at the grocery store it's that available. In fact I may stop at customer service next time I'm grabbing some steaks for the grill and ask them to start carrying it.

I called BRS to see if they had a secret stash. No such luck. I was told that the delay was because of the new packaging on the smaller quantity boxes. I said “you mean the same packaging that they have been using for a year”? I would have gone with pandemic or weather. Lol
The truth is that they have had a year to get their act together. No problem finding it in Canada and the EU. They haven’t figured out a way to serve their best market and in my opinion that’s on management.
