What salt mix does Battle Corals use?

Hello Adam,

I am curious which salt mix do you use. Also, from a previous post, I see you supplement Iodine. Do you supplement any other trace elements?

Thank you!

I believe Adam told me one time Tropic Marin.

TM Classic

Adam also told me TM Classic.

Yep, been using the Tropic Marin Marine mix well over a decade now.

Thanks for chiming in guys!

Wouldn’t it be less expensive and easier to have a chinook fly a large container of water in from a pristine reef?? All joking aside that’s a whole bunch of salt!

Thank you guys! My regular salt has gone up in price, so now I’ve found my next mix.

It's good stuff

Kindly following up on this and a question to Adam: why Classic and not their Pro mix? Is this because for the size of your facility it is more economic to start with Classic and add more calcium?

I'm honestly surprised he doesn't use something more economical like IO.

Explains why BRS is out of stock

Adam uses classic TM as long as I have known him way before BRS even thought about them

Right, curious to know the reasoning for going with Classic vs Pro.

Well. that's a great question. It's really as simple as the old adage, "if it ain't broke". I've had such good results with the Marine Mix that I never saw a reason to switch.

HA. Nah I get mine from a distributor that's somewhat local to me.

Curious, what do you use to bring your ALK up since Tropic Marine has such a low dkh from the bucket???
