Kent Salt?

[jessesoto33]

Does anyone have input on Kent Sea Salt? I was told that it takes a full day to dissolve?

Any body?

doesnt seem like a popular brand...
Have you looked into using other brands or is this your only option?

My option is not buying salt at all, we have the famoust Free Scripp's Water here in San Diego.

should be fine, here my personal favs in order of best success
only few i would stay away from, but most salts are ok, imo i dont like filtered seawater
but to each his own, if ur tank is doing fine than stick to what woprks best for you
Tropic marin -Pro Reef mix
Red Sea-reg mix
Tropic marin -reg mix

I've been using coralife, but I am going to start a 300g tank soon, and I can get a good price on Kent salt $35 a box, can mix 150g or 200g can't remember exactly how much. Not a bad cost considering mixing 330g total with sump. Still contemplating.

some thoughts:
how close does the salt mix you are using get you to NSW(natural seawater parameters)
if your having to dose extra supplements , maybe upgrade to a better mix
