some people do.

 

[EyeReef]

wow thats a huge list...didnt even know half of them existed

I've used Red Sea Coral Pro... the wholesale distributor for Tropic Marin, but going back to Scripps.
Making r/o water is expensive these days with the drought.

 

[LotsaFishies]

I get very cheap water since I'm at an apartment... I don't mind going through tons and tons of RO water.

I use Red Sea Coral Pro...not necesarrily becuase it's better or anything...but cause it's cheap and it works well enough!!

TM Pro is my favorite, i have been using it for many years. Tunze Salt also good....

Currently using Scripps however will be changing to D-D or maybe Reefers Best (I'm using ZEO).

 

[socal57chevy]

I use Scripps. I did some reading on old tank syndrome a while back and came up with some very informative articles on salt mixes and sea water. Rather than try to explain them in 50 continuous posts...I'll just link the articles. MODS, if the links are deemed inapproplriate, please feel free to nuke them. There is a TON of great info in them. They are all saved in my favorites, so if they get deleted just PM me and I'll be happy to email them to you individually.
