What salt brands do you guys use? I use instant ocean currently and I stay consistent. I fear switching brands in case they have different chemical make ups.
Has anyone tried different types and had more success with one brand over another?

I use Reef crystals, been using it since I set my first nano up 8 years ago. I would not mix two brands of salt! It is just another obstacle we can do without in this hobby!

I also use Reef crystals, for me I find it keeps my calcium level very high, and I use RODI water

I'm not super pleased with my instant ocean and it's calcium. I seem to hold around 350 and I have to add more frequently. I also use rodi.
I'm looking for recommendations for a more accurate phosphate test as well. I have API now and red sea in the past but my readings are between 0 and 0.25 I need to know if I'm sitting at 2 and need to do something or if I'm at 0.05 and don't have to worry.
It's funny cuz after 5 years in the hobby I'm still noob.
