Curious as to what salt the zeovit users recommend?

I've tried most, and so far the Sea Chem Reef salt has been the best for me and my system. Parameters are very much inline with NSW.
Look here for more info on the Sea Chem Salt.

I second that....Seachem Reef salt is good stuff.Comment

i am about to start zeo and have been using crystal seas since day 1. i also have lost a few sps to stn. not sure if salt has anything to do w/ this. anyone know? not sure if i should stick w/ it or not. all parameters on point and stable.92 corner SPS BB, 2X250W Phoenix 14K/PFO dual HQI ballast, 2X95W URI actinic VHO/Ice-Cap 430, Euro-reef CS6-2, Iwaki 30RXT return, 4XTUNZE 6000 on MC,22g sump,135lb Fiji branch/Marshall Is.

I am using a 50-50 mix of oceanic and IOComment

I am using a mix of 50-50 oceanic and IO with very good results so far.

Im using Tropic Marin Pro Reef and no problems so far. Thinking of changing to Seachem's.Farish

TM Pro Reef also
NO problems yet.

If at first it doesn't fit get a bigger hammer - Beat to fit paint to matchComment

Can the Seachem users comment on the elevated Boron levels this salt has?
Its to my understanding its around 3x higher than NSW but isnt toxic until about 6x. Just curious if this is a concern to anyone?Comment

I can't comment on the boron levels as I have no way to test them. I hadn't heard the boron thing yet. What are the signs of OD? How would one know when levels are getting near toxic?

Its to my understanding that levels dont build up, its just the fact that they use higher levels of that element for PH stability or something like that.
I want to use the salt, was just asking around trying to find out if that element is a concern or should it be a concern.Comment

Anyone using 100% all IO???
Thanks,

I did for a while, but the CA was off the charts well over 500 ppm and Alk was way low, around 6. Mg was also very low. My tank did not react favorably to the salt mix. Colors got very washed out so I would have to assume it to be low in Potassium as well. For a predominately SPS tank, I would not recommend this salt if your running the Zeo method or striving to maintain close to NSW levels.265 gallon SPS tank.

I used to but I was not able to keep my alk low enough with it.Originally posted by smarinerComment

BTW, Chad, welcome to ZEOvit.com.
With the ZEOvit method, parameters mirror those of NSW levels, ie. Ca>400<450/Mg>1200<1400/KH 6-8 & narrowly stable/salinity 1.023-.26 & narrowly stable. If one can maintain stable parameters, then using ZEOvit is easy to maintain SPS health & coloration, HTH, Bob
