Big Al's Phil , that's where I always buy my salt i find these is much better than IO. I'd test my cal hc - 410ppm & alk 120ppm, 7-8dkh . I like these salt my corals seems very happy with it than IO. I've been using this kind of salt atleast 6 months. I can tell the result all my corals got better coloration, & your friend will tell you how's like my sps doing in my tank:)

I think a buckets around 70-80 bucks, but I only buy a bag 65g, I don't really change water often sometimes a month but it seems these salt is very empressive result in my tank.

I think only big Al's carry this kind of salt here in Ottawa Phil.

I thought AquaValley had this??  Or was it Tropic Marin Pro?

Now that you mention it Tim I think AZ carries the tropic marine pro salt

tropic marin too is one of best salt brand out there, i've been using this kind of salt when i was in europe 8) but its expensive though.

Be careful with tripic marin pro reef.

I bought 3 buckets from Az and one of them had VERY low alk (4.5 dkh).

It seems they had a bad batch and lots of people on ReefCentral were complaining about it.

Hookup

Really?  I had the same issue with reef crystals...

I was using IO/RC before, got bad batch to ive lost my school of barlets. Ever since I change my salt to red sea pro I'd find that my alk / cal pretty much stable now, I hardly test my water all I do now every week test my salinity . I don't really like the reg. IO it's cheap but alk/cal seems very low. I'm not saying red sea pro is much better than any brand name of salts out there in the market. But for me this is what my corals seems to like, my sps robusta it's like weed:)

Feivel

I must agree with kole. Very nice sps tank. It seems to work great for him.

Btw your kole tang is awesome :-)

kole18

I know that kole tang seems easy to keep, almost eats everything I feed to this tang. A bit aggressive but I have to let go, I'd rather to keep my Picasso clown. Anyway thanks later.
