Comments: I've been reef keeping for 6 yrs now and this is the first time I used this salt, and I would say that I don't know what I was thinking for not trying this product sooner...It is the best salt IMO, no powdery residue and no chlorine like smell...it disolved very quickly as soon as it get's into the water. My corals are never been happier and open up really good, even the colors are back...especially my Montipora and zoos. Yes it's a little bit pricey but it's WELL worth it. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Posted on 6/4/2009 from CULLOWHEE, NC UNITED STATES

Comments: I was looking for a salt to replace the Reefer's best i was using and thought i would try this brand. I've researched a little about this salt on RC and found it's parameters to be in line for what i wanted. It mixed up well and didn't leave that residue in my mixing container like other salt brands. Seems to be pretty good stuff. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Mag level at 1100, dkh @ 7.0, Iodide level low the only question I have is why? Have used this product for over a year cant say better than red sea. I have had ph battles with this mix without supplementing mag. Questions abound for all salt mixes but for price of this product is it really "better" ? Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Excellent Reef Salt by PAUL SHIROMA

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 6/28/2008 from GARDEN GROVE, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: After trying out a couple of other brands, including Seachem's Reef Salt and Red Sea's Reef Salt, I switched to the Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt. I was impressed by how well the salt dissolved (no left overs) and how easily the corals made the transition to the new brand. My water chemistry seems to have improved as well, although longer term testing will be the only way to confirm this (as of the date of this writing I've only done a couple of water changes). Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Low Magnesium by Scissorhand

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/25/2008 from MIDWAY CITY, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: When I first tried TMP, I bought a 200 gal box and after mixing at 35ppt the magnesium was lower than NSW. I thought that was due to the fact that I did not mix up the entire bucket. Thus, I bought a smaller 32 gal box and mixed the entire box at one time, magnesium was still lower than NSW (around 1150 or so). I believe TMP is a high quality salt, but manufacturer has got bump up the magnesium for the amount of $$$ that I'm paying for it. I tested magnesium using Elos test kit. I had a friend who tested with Salifert and came up with the same numbers. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

best salt by rayray

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/19/2008

Comments: Owners at my frequented LFSs grudgingly told me they use this in their professional displays but sold the cheap crap because thats what hobbists and maintenance crews used - cheap sells. I bought a small box, used RODI H2O & it is amazing. I now add NOTHING to the salt, it dissolves in 10 minutes leaving no residue, and the colors of the SPS/LPS really showed after 2-3 water changes. I do weekly 10% changes and will use nothing else. I now only test for Ca+ & Alk. My expensive corals live & thrive in this stuff. Worth the cost! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

great salt by ANDREJ SPEC

Posted on 4/14/2008 from SKOKIE, IL UNITED STATES

Comments: Dissolves before it hits the bottom of the bucket, just like the other tropic marin, and has tons of calcium and added compounds. Always known as the best salt ever. Worth the extra price. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Best Salt Period by Leonard Papagno

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 4/13/2008 from GROVELAND, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: Without a doubt this salt is the hands down winner when it comes to synthetic sea salt. I originally bought this at a local Store in Orlando, Fl when I was picking up a coral. I had never seen it before or even heard of it and the price was three times higher than any other salt I had bought. I went ahead though and purchased some and I have not been disappointed since. The results have been nothing less than great. I use to make up water a week in advance in a large Rubbermaid can and after a week the diatoms covered ever in of the can and ruined the water. I don’t use RO like the majority of people in this hobby use so I always thought that was the reason. Plus my tank after a few days would start to bloom diatoms even with an abundance of snails on the glass. Since I bought Tropic Marin Pro I know longer have diatoms and I can go longer between water changes and use less salt per gallon than with any other mix. I mix it up 3 weeks in advance and the water is just as clear as the first day I mixed it. I will use no other mix ever period. A bonus also is my coralline algae have finally taken hold of my tank after 4 years of trying to get it to go. Great Product and it the long run you will save money with fewer changes. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Nice salt by Ryan Lynch

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 3/8/2008 from MEMPHIS, TN UNITED STATES

Comments: Well I have used Red Sea Coral Pro Salt and this salt. Red Sea salt was great dKh 10 Cal-420 1.021. The only reason I switched was because of the residue left over in my mixer after I mixed. Tropic-Marin has no residue after I mix and is very clean but only has a dKh of 7. I questioned them about this on there website and the answer I got was natural seawater is 7 and that is what there salt stays at. I personally like to be higher so I use a dKH additive with this salt. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Best salt by BRYANT

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 3/4/2008 from SAN FRANCISCO, CA UNITED STATE

Comments: This salt dissolves very fast. I used to use Instant Ocean, but that would always leave some white particles/residue behind. After every water change, I see a remarkable response from all of my hard corals. Dosing calcium/alkalinity alone doesn't seem to keep the growth up. I worry that continued use of this will leave my bottles of supplements useless. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Pro Reef salt is the BEST! by RAMAN

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 2/22/2008 from FONTANA, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I have owned saltwater tanks for over 15years now. The Marine Tropic Pro-Reef Salt is by far the best salt I have ever used. The only algae that it promotes are purple coralline algae. With other products I would grow purple coralline on the rocks and a green type of coralline on the glass. After switching to Marine Tropic Pro Reef, I have noticed the green type of coralline go away and now I only grow the purple coralline on the glass and rocks. Also, all of my coral is growing like crazy!! This salt is a little high in cost but well worth it. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Decent Salt by Jeff

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 2/5/2008

Comments: This salt dissolves fairly fast. The trace elements are definitely in there. Only problem I had was with calcium levels and alkalinity once I mixed a batch. Ive done 2 since I bought this product, both times calcium was 500+ and alkalinity was a consistent 2.8 meq/L each time. Sorry, but next time I will be choosing a different brand. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

The best I've used. by SJB

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 12/31/2007 from CHESTERFIELD, VA UNITED STATES

Comments: For a long time I relied on additives to keep my Calcium and Magnesium levels up. Then I discovered Tropic Marin Pro and I now use very little supplements to my water. I have two reef tanks, one 500 gallon, one 210 gallon. I do a 10 percent water change weekly on my tanks. I'm able to maintain my mag and cal at optimum levels this way and it costs much less than constantly adding additives or using reactors - and safer. Obviously I make my own water and this is absolutely the cleanest salt. Every other salt I've used has left deposits in my mixing tanks. Tropic Marin is always clean. WELL worth the extra $$. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great salt by LUIS

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 12/31/2007 from DORAL, FL UNITED STATES

Comments: I used to use corralife which is fine but think this is much better it might be a dollar or 2 more but my fish colors are better and overall just seems to be great salt. It might take a minute to disolve more than corralife but big deal its great salt. I find less algae with this salt than corralife . I also like seachem as much both tied for first place . Both take a minute more than corralife to disolve but both I notice things just better in tank. I have nothing against Corralife used it for yrs but dont find it as good as tropic marin or seachem. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Well we all know that Pro-Reef Tropic Marin is an AMAZING salt for your reef because of all the elements infused in the mix. Its really great that this 200 gallon mix is available from Marine Depot because its a great value compared to having multiple 32 Gallon boxes. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Better by NICHOLAS HANSEN

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 12/24/2007 from NEW BERN, NC UNITED STATES

Comments: I was originally using coral pro sea salt. And decided to switch to tropic marin because i heard good things about it and my red sea salt had a low calcium reading when i mix it. So i got the TM and it dissolved much quicker! But the calcium reading was still low. So I think I have a bad test kit. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
