SRC Member comycus Posted June 12, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm a strong supporter of D-D salt too. good parameters and no residual left after mixing. Quote My old 3ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member peacemaker Posted June 12, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 12, 2010 Tropic Marine is pretty good too, but you have to take note of the CA & Mag levels. I read somewhere that they will be releasing a new salt, so you can consider waiting for reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member LaW Posted July 5, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted July 5, 2010 http://www.redseafish.com/Prod283.asp if its the above, it had already reached our shore. i just done with a tub. not a bad salt. Quote If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless. Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. || Tank: 78" x 30" x 30" || Sump: 48" x 22" x 20" || Lights: PowerModule 10 X 80W|| Returns: 2 x HF32 || || Skimmer: BubbleKing Supermarin 300 || Wavemaker: 3 x 6100 & 1 x 6200, 2 x Wavebox 6212, WavySea || || FR: 2 x FR150 || NR: Sulphur Denitrator || CR: RM Custom Made 8" || KR: Deltec KM500 || TopUp: Tunze Osmolator 3155 || || UV: Coralife 12X 36W || Ozonizer: Sanders C200|| Controller: GHL Profilux Plus II Ex || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using the redsea coral pro bundled with my RSM. i mixed with the given instructions (1kg - 30l), but my mg test reads 800-900 only.

I couldn't help as I didn't purchase the Mg test kit too For the first time, i did a 30% wc, i had to use separate containers , and i test it separately. Subsequently, i did 10% wc, i use a single container...i did not get 1300 from all the tests... i left it overnight with a pump running...
