What salt is everyone using and why

[merkmerk73]

Nyos salt.

Has their parameters listed on the bag/box

Mixes really clean

Has parameters that I want (good alk, mag, calc)

And it's about the same price as the other 'premium' salts without being as nutty as the 'ultra premium' salt.

I tried Red Sea blue/black, hw marin, Two Little Fishies (hard to find), and Fritz

Nyos is vastly superior to all of them IMO.

NYOS has been my go to but there are 5 or 6 I’d use if they’re on sale.

Why? Because I tested the majority of them.

I wanted to get this thread up and going before the holidays soak up all my time. I did a live YouTube with Deven from ReefDudes going over things but it is about 1.5 hours long. I will write up a more detailed explanation here in this first post soon. I am a hobbyist first and foremost. I have...

Your results (and the video going over it) are what helped guide my choices, and my results were fairly consistent with what you had reported

Nyos seems like the ideal salt from everything I can tell and I don't plan on switching

Red Sea Coral Pro because,

1. Always available and has not inflated much over the years.

2. Consistent every time.

3. Mixes clean.

Surprised everyone is using IO reef salt instead of their sea salt version when sea salt is the cheaper product. Any reason for that?
