I currently use IO but going to switch over to Tropic Marin as the calcium levels are higher and I hate having to dose to maintain my calcium levels

Had been using IO and recently switched to Oceanic. Slightly better Alk & CA. About the same price. Additionally, the 50 gallon size plastic jug makes handling really easy. No more twisty ties on those IO bags!

IO. You cant beat the 5 gallon bucket (makes 160g) for $32 bucks (regular everyday price). I buy from a large local retailer Petsmart.

the only reason i even use instant ocean is becuase of the convenience...
*THIS PACKAGE MIXES 10 GALLONS OF SALTWATER AT 1.022* doesn't get any easier then that... i gave up trying to find the exact formula 1 cup to 5 gallons.. what ever... |
