Honestly, just grab whatever's on sale. Corals don't care as long as the salt's mixed right. Save your cash for the fun stuff, like more corals.


While I get the sentiment, I'd still recommend sticking with a reputable brand. Cheap salt can sometimes have inconsistent levels of trace elements ...

I've had success with a 10-gallon nano using a Kessil A80 light and a Hydor pump. The key is consistency. Test your water weekly, and don't overfeed. Also, start with hardy corals like Xenia or Green Star Polyps before moving to more sensitive species.
