Kent makes several different marine mixes. Which speciic one are you referring to?

Their standard sea salt is all I've found...

afgoody,
I've used Kent for years with good results. I think you'll find others will say the same for Instant Ocean. Dr. Craig Bingman did a wonderful comparative study a few years back of several mixes and posted the results here at reefs.org. Might be of interest to you. Search the board's library and archives for it.

all the best :wink:

Kent makes a bunch of additives/suppliments but only one salt mix. I've used it plenty in the past and like it.

afgoody,

i uses kent salt from day one till now. 3 years on, i am using it & swears by it. good salt, very soluble but have the tendancy to harden after a period of time. when harden, solubility drops nevertheless, i am using it & do not intend to change any salt

Kent have a whole range of addictive for you to choose. I uses nothing buy Kent except for my filtration media :lol:

afgoody,
I can't locate the article either :? Anyone else remember the article? I thought it was an article that was on the Aquarium Frontiers index once upon a time. Anyway to access that anymore?

If memory serves, I think Kent and IO topped the list as being closest to natural sea water with regards to % of elements contained.

thanks,

I use and recommend Kent salt - and I use several of their additives on my own tanks and those I maintain.

Used IO for years, but prefer Kent now.
