what is the best salt mix for reef tanks??
...If we simply say 'anything will work' or 'try things until you find one that works' we might as well not reply and the person might as well not even be on a forum asking for input. ...
Any compilation of info on the experiences with different salts and the issues with each? For example: as a trend brand X is lower in Ca but higher in Alk, Brand Y is good for both but doesn't have much Mg.
This could help people match a salt for their tank's needs. For example: if their tank seems to run low on Alk they could see what brands may be a better option for them.
I agree that 'the best salt out there' will vary from tank to tank and what you want in a salt. But I don't think people need to be bothered by people recommending a salt when the question is asked.
