What Salt?

[timmystood]

Hi all, I was just wandering what salt you use in your brackish tanks.. I currently use Aqualibrium, but it's really expensive and i'm nearly out.. so I just wandered what salt I should start using?

Cheers

The brand of salt is really not important in brackish aquaria. The alkalinity, calcium etc. levels do not matter, so the cheap-o brands of salt are just fine. I use Red-Sea salt in my brackish tanks only because it is the cheapest. In marine aquaria it's quite a different story though...
