Redsea coral pro salt

[Allen]

Just sharing my two cents. I had used Red Sea Coral Pro Salt for about 6 years before I switched to Aquaforest probiotic reef salt. I was hoping to get a lower Alk level and more importantly help to better manage the no3 and po4 as per the Aquaforest flyers. After using Aquaforest the Alk was lowered to about 8.4 and Ca was stable at 450 which was good but the Mg was totally off the chart. It slowly increased from 1320 to all the way 1740 in about 5 months’ time. I also tested the newly mixed water and the Mg was at 1750. I did check the Aquaforest salt online and it appears their test result was within the range, not sure what happened. I searched online and found I was not the only one having the high Mg issue with Aquaforest salt. So, I decided to switch back to the Coral pro salt and bought one 22kg bucket. Coral pro is still very easy to mix unlike the probiotic salt which I always got small undissolved lumps. The Red Sea can also check your salt batch online which is very good https://www.redseafish.com/my-batch/ After using Coral pro Salt again, my Mg has been reduced from 1740 back to 1360 in about 3 months time and doing 20% water change per week. Alk has been increased to 9.5 and my Corals are all happy and my 7+ year old clownfish started to lay eggs every fortnight since about a month ago. I will keep using Coral pro. Sometimes the old ways are the best.

I'm using Royal Nature ION Balanced Reef Salt.

This is good too as it keeps my kH at 8, Ca at about 410 and Mg at about 1300
