Recommended Posts

Got myself a BLUE TREASURE sps salt mix from iwarna and am going to do a bi-monthly review on this new salt mix.

Reefers who are already using this product are welcomed to input their findings and reviews on this product

My plan is to do bi-weekly 20% w.c on my tank and see the effects it has my sps, lps and softies.

Stay tuned.

My marine salt finishing soon and I still can't decide whether to buy Treasure Blue (coral)or Redsea Coral Pro.

Since you are doing the review..I'll wait for you......hope it has very positive and good result..!

Correction.. The salt only come in 20kg and not 25kg bucket, whereas most of the other brand in the market come in 23 KG.

Didn't know 3kg different..... <_< !

i recently bought this salt and i realize that the "salt smell" coming from my tank was rather strong. it has been 2 weeks since. anyone had this problem, is there anyway to remove the smell ? like adding activated carbon?

i have used redsea and other brands of salt and this is the first time i am having this problem
