I used to own a tropical fish shop, a commercial FW fish breeder and now just a retired hobbyist. I only use Instant Ocean salts to hatch and/or grow Brine shrimp now. I have always obtained superior hatches using marine salt mixes over rock salt. In the past, I've cultured some corals but a true measure of a marine salt mix is to have reef fish breed in captivity. I have had pairs of Yellowtail Blue Damsels, Chrysiptera parasema) breed almost every week for months at a time in the early 1980's. In a different setup in the late 1980's and early 1990's I had a 125 gal reef tank. Mostly corals with a few fish. In that tank, my pair of Pygmy Flame Angelfish, Centropyge loricula and trio of Mandarin Dragonets, Synchiropus splendidus, would regularly spawn just after the lights turned off. Of course, I never successfully raised any young because that is too difficult if one is landlocked with no access to tropical plankton to fee the young but some have been successful in tropical Pacific and Caribbean ora.com facilities. Most major public and commercial marine aquariums use Instant Ocean because it has high predictable quality at reasonable prices.

Work great my fish love it I love it

Super product will definitely always purchase this product great for hermit crabs koi fish anything that needs safe salt in their water.

This is the 2nd bag we have bought in the past year for my son’s 3 saltwater tanks. It keeps the water quality and ammonia levels where it should be. This is quick to react and doesn’t affect the color of the water. Keeps fish tanks healthy. Will buy again!

Works well for making saltwater for marine fish aquarium, and shipped fast.

i like this salt however if you want to go longer between dosing for coral or water changes id recommend reef crystals instead

I've been a saltwater hobbyist (45 gallon) for almost 10 years now and since the very beginning have been using this brand of salt with no problems at all. The pricing is always competitive compared to other name brands but the salt to me is always the same no matter which brand you go with. To mix this salt I use R/O water in a glass jar, pour in the salt and then fill with water. I shake it for a few seconds and let it sit till the salt dissolves. When the salt dissolves I start pouring slowly into the tank and measuring the salt amount with my meter. Other brand name salts that compare to this one are smaller grained and dissolve faster but for me, I have no issue waiting and I've noticed that on occasion over the years passed that if I do get impatient and pour some undissolved salt into the tank it doesn't seem to harm the fish or coral- some salts are not recommended to pour directly into the tank without dissolving first like I mention above in a glass jar with R/O water. Overall I favor this brand and have used it for so many years that switching now seems pointless. I'd recommend to others as I've had no problems with this product over the years.

Tengo cuarenta años manteniendo acuarios marinos de todo tipo, Instant Ocean y la sal que de las salineras de Lorena, Francia obtienen con adición de sintéticos me ha acompañado todo ese tiempo sobre todo cuando hay épocas en donde requieres un precio económico, ya que la acuariofilia marina no es para cualquiera por los costos que en cualquier momento enfrentas, el contar con sal de emergencia es obligatorio y desde siempre he contado con bolsas de reposición sin importar cuando las use, de tener hace unos veinticinco años un tanque de 1,000 GA pase gradual y lentamente a los tanques NANO con el ahorro en recursos, energía y especímenes para ir de la mano con una política de planeta sustentable y ahí estuvo Instant Ocean y seguirá hasta donde mi afición me lo permita.

Been using this line of salt from instant ocean for about 2 years now, very good product and the salinity instructions on the back are very accurate,

Llego rapido y a buen precio, gracias!

Not sure if it was due to moisture but the salt started to clump together

Muy buen producto
