Instant Ocean Sea Salt (10 gal)

Great value for the money! We use this for our saltwater pool in our hermit crab tank. We use 1 Tbs at a time since the pool is the minimum size recommended of a 2 cup capacity. This brand is highly recommended from all of the crab groups we are in. It has lasted for months and we are only half way through it. Will definitely be ordering more at the end of Summer.

This stuff mixes so easily. And devolves fast. I recomend it for beginners and experts. The salinity levels are easy and accurate. Adjusting the levels are easy too.

Wonderful for jellyfish! Don’t waste money on mini packets of special Marine salt! Just use 1/2 cup per gallon of distilled water for your water changes. Specific gravity and pH are wonderful and I’ve been using this for months and the jellies are thriving!

I used 1 scoop of this for approximately 4 gallons of water (almost full 5 gallon bucket) for a brackish water tank and this salt works great. I would pour the salt in roughly when the bucket was halfway so I could swirl it around easily and then by the time the bucket was 4/5ths full then the salt was usually dissolved enough. With a capful of primer and the water was ready to dump. I never found a need to wait a certain amount of time and it never seemed to bother the fish. In fact the fish usually swam to the water as I poured it in.

So far so good pertaining the packaging and looks of the salt (it came out very fine like sugar and not clumpy from within the bag) . I have used this salt before with good results before switching to RSCP and have come to give it another chance because RSCP is too expensive! From what I have read, theres not much difference between this salt and more expensive ones. I will begin using one of the 50 gallon bags tomorrow, and the opened bag will been placed in a 5G bucket that I have left from my other salt. My salinity came out at about 1.027ppm (which is just a little more than I want) with two cups of salt and 4G of water. I will come back here to talk about how much calcium theres in the new salt and how my SPS and other corals react after a few months. I do dose KM nanoreef part A and B twice a week to keep my calcium from depleting because I have some big SPS colonies.

Always gives me the best results when doing water changes compared to other brands. Highly recommend.

This is a great product with the correct salinity. This is an absolute necessity if you have hermit crabs. We did not know this was necessary in our tank and our crabs went several months without it. We added it to their sand/substrate and put a dish of it in their tank. The substrate needs to be approximately 6 to 8 inches deep (or 3 to 4 times the height of your largest crabs shell) and should be Sandcastle consistency. We added approximately 1 gallon of salt water to accomplish this. The crabs spent about one week exploring the new sand and soaking in the salt water. Then they finally tunneled down for their first molt. This probably saved their lives. If hermit crabs cannot molt, they cannot survive. For more information on this I recommend a website called hermitcrabpatch.com. The information the pet stores give and the information thats generally available is completely wrong and is very unhealthy and often fatal for hermit crabs I highly recommend this product to anyone with hermit crabs.

Ive always loved instant ocean for all of my saltwater aquariums. However this bag thats labeled for 50 gallons was not enough to bring a 47 gallon into spec. I had to buy an additional smaller bag to get the specific gravity to where it needed to be. Otherwise its fantastic. Just buy a little extra.

The salt dissolved quickly as stated on the box. The reason I did not give five stars is the box was already open and the top was ripped open with part of the top not even all there. The salt is five stars, but I deducted one star which in my view is Amazons bad for shipping a box that was probably a return. fortunately, the salt was still sealed in the plastic bag that contained the salt.

Classic fav
