I won a free bag and just received it. It looks fantastic if it performs as advertised. If I get a chance I will send a fresh mix sample to triton and compare to known brands
DFS charges tax right?
I got a bucket of RC from Petsmart on black friday for $41 (tax included), and submitted the $10 rebate, so net cost is about $31. RC bucket is only 160 gallon though. They may still sell it at that price in store today. They still had like 5 buckets when I left the (fremont) store late friday night.
I would get the DFS if I did not get the bucket of RC.
I've seen some compare it to the Fritz RPM. This is a nice deal--if your order totals $125+, you receive a $50 DFS GC for a future purchase.
RC is a bit high on Alk. My Alk jumps to 10 when ever I had water changes. I had to stop dose for few days to let it lower to 8.5. I am looking for something has lower Alk.
Well that's a bummer, good thing I held off on buying a bucket.I tested it when it was released about a month ago. Very similar to Fritz parameters, except I found it didn't precipitate like Fritz did. But both Fritz and Live Aquaria mixed salt water dropped in Alkalinity over time if you store it, like from 8.5 dkh to 6.5 dkh in a week or two. So it's good for people if you use the salt mix right away, but if you plan to store or do automatic water changes, be careful with that. The parameters are great though. Mid to high 8 dkh, mid to high 400's Ca, a little high Mag around 1450-1500.

Wait I think I miss read this, so you're saying if you mix it the ALK of the mixed saltwater drops over a period of 1-2 weeks but if I keep the salt stored it shouldn't be affected?I tested it when it was released about a month ago.

I only mix when I'm doing a water change, so it is usually used withing a few days depending on how lazy I am at the time.
