I read, but the topics are very old and most may not be relevant; there is almost nothing for sale, unless you order from foreign websites.

Nothing has changed under the Sun. Quality salt is expensive. I use Tropic Marin for the nano tank, for 450+100 liters Tetra.

Tetra ine SeaSalt is quite a normal salt, while AQUARIUM SYSTEMS REEF CRYSTALS and Tropic Marin PRO-REEF and Tropic Marin BIO-ACTIF are considered much better. As for China, there have been many complaints on the forum. It all depends on the thickness of your wallet and the goals you pursue.

I am also a beginner. I just salted the Tetra. There are no fish yet, so I will observe and post updates in my thread.

Thank you all! The Tropic Marin is good, but unfortunately, the price is steep((( I will start with the Tetra, and then maybe I will move on to something better. Thanks again, everyone!

Tetra is salt for fish tanks, which is evident even if you just look at the picture on the bucket; when the salt is for corals, they depict corals in the images. I kept a mini tank with fish, soft corals, and simple LPS on Tetra. If you want to set up an aquarium with it, it's advisable to stock up on tests for calcium, magnesium, hardness, and adjust the water parameters as needed.

I won't be so categorical. At Tetra, we have 450+100, including both soft and LPS and SPS.
Rita
I disagree. I have been maintaining a mixed reef for 7 years with 60% soft corals, 30% LPS (large-polyp stony corals), and 10% SPS. It is said that the salt has slightly low levels of Ca and Mg. However, here are my measurements; I dilute the Tetra Marine SeaSalt in osmotic water, and today I measured: Ca=410, Mg=1310, pH=8.1, Kh=8.

Don't be so nervous, it's up to us to decide whether to pull or not, and you should read the forum rules.
Shane
If you like to pull, then so be it. I might agree with such a statement.

Is this a dying aquarium?
In 3 years, only one water change of 50 liters.
Tetra salt.
For the last six months, I've only added calcium chloride and baking soda.
For a hard reef, Tetra is not suitable, but a true hard reef cannot be maintained solely with water changes.
About 80% of marine aquariums are mixed reefs.

What a wonderful topic!

If you take a close look at the deleted post, you will see that there was text there, written before the quote, and it was not meaningless words, but a question. And if you read the second part of post #8 in this thread carefully, you will see that I do not rule out the possibility of keeping corals in Tetra salt and even mentioned under what conditions this can be done successfully.

Show your aquarium. Tests for calcium, carbonate, and nitrate with phosphate are needed for any salt.

From history. Here is my first 30-liter aquarium with Tetra salt. And a photo of the fry of Apogon from the parents in this aquarium.
