What's the Best Salt out there when setting up a new Sal****er tank? I've
heard and read so many different things.. my friend swears by Tropic Marin
... my other friends swear on Kent.. any suggestions... I want to set up a
90 gallon fish only tank over the next like two weeks with a Naso Tang, a
Picasso Trigger and maybe one or two other fish.. I have a excellent
wet/dry filter ready to go...but want to make sure a get a descent salt..
i'm going to have a very very thin layer of reef sand (less than half inch
deep) on the bottom. I want a couple of Chocolate chip Stars in the tank
as well..
