Red SeaFish Pharm ARE11065 Coral Reef Marine Salt for Aquarium, 175-Gallon

Item pictured is salt in a bucket which is why we chose it and it showes up in a bag thats busted open at the top.

This is a good salt for saltwater tanks. It’s a little more expensive than your lower end stuff, but I’ve had a lot of success with it. It’s also not the most expensive salt, it’s more of a mid range. But I think you get the best bang for your buck. Only problem I had with this shipment was the bucket was damaged. No telling where it occurred. But these buckets are great to keep after the salt is gone for water changes and storing and transporting fresh RODI water.

After having used Red Sea salt for 3 different tanks for the past few months, I haven't had a single problem with my salt water (I have an RO/DI system). I have tested extensively for ammonia, phosphates, calcium, magnesium, PH, alkalinity, chlorine, nitrates, and nitrites. All are perfect every time. HOWEVER, I do have to add a extra salt to get the perfect salinity: the instructions play it safe. A refractometer is an absolute requirement to getting it right, as is an RO/DI filtration system.Before I purchased this product, I used to pick up salt water from my local fish store. They use Red Sea, too. You just can't get better than this. I just wish it weren't so darn expensive...but that won't stop me from making Red Sea my only marine salt provider.

I’ve used Red Sea Salt for some time now for my 20 gal Red Sea nano tank. This is my second bucket. While the first bucket arrived in tact, this bucket had large breaks in the bottom and side. The bucket was wrapped in a plastic packing wrap possibly to help keep bucket from breaking and/or leaking salt. I still give the salt5 stars as I believe the salt product is a quality product. The packaging would get 2 stars as I’ve read they often break.

THE best customer service I've experienced, period. I ordered a large bucket of Red Sea Salt for my 72g bow front saltwater tank. As any reefer knows, the salt you use is vital for your critters. I will always order my products from them. They are prompt, courteous, respectful and customer centric through and through. Thank you so much! Absolutely will recommend to friends!
