Red Sea coral pro salt vs salinity?

I've never used the RSCP salt but I've been using salinity for a long time now and I love it. Of all the salts i've used, salinity requires the least amount of salt to get to my desired 1.026 level. I've used multiple buckets and have not had to adjust my dosers either.

Yeah salinity is more expensive, but IMO ur using less salt to Mix sw so the price is comparable to other salts u use that are cheaper and require more salt.
 
I use red sea and have had good luck with it of the past 2 years and have been thinking of switching to salinity just to try something new and see how the tank dose. yes I know what your thinking why change when everything is good, we'll that's just me take the risk and worry later, you'll never know if you don't try.... Right

This is my thought!!! If you are doing many WC's, I suggest go with Red Sea coral pro or maybe cheaper.. But if you are doing minor WC's, salinity is a great salt from all the reviews I seen.. A 5gal bucket for me might last me 4-5 months on current set up but previous was a 1 month 1/2. So go what you can afford and don’t stress about it!!!
 
one more thing to be considered is the ALK levels in the new mix ..

Red sea Pro mixes at a very high alk level of around 10.5 -11 .. so depending on how much your alk in the tank is dropping the swing might be too much when doing water changes ..

thats the reason i went with Regular Red sea salt instead of Pro .. Regular red sea mixes at around 8.0-8.5 alk and thats around what i want to keep my tank at ..
 
From what it sounds like you can do just as many water changes with Salinity. You just don't need to add as much salt to the water to get the required salinity. But where can you even get it?
 
Ok I think I am going to try some salinity and see how it works and if i don't like it I will just switch back thanks for all the info everybody
