Brightwell Salt.

[luther1200]

Hey Eggiel its called REEF CENTRAL, not FISH CENTRAL. that means that 99% of the tanks are reef tanks. I have never seen a TOTM that was not a REEF TANK. Maybe you should do a little research before you post these uninformed comments. I think you are just mad that all these people have gorgeous tanks with IO and RC and you pay 3-4 times the amount to get the similar results. And now you are trying to deffend you salt brand. I hope you aren't one of these people who thinks just because something costs more it has to be better than something that costs less. Have you been to the Premium Aqautics thread and seen the ATB 840 Vs. the Vertex In 100 thread. They did pretty much the same amount of skimming and 1 skimmer is less than half the price of the other. So that proves right there that price does not = the best.

 

[eggiel]

Wow thats the stupidst thing i could hear from you called reef what ever just for people with corals

Nobody is saying about tanks of the month did your read the hole thread being fish only

I said the mayority of IO user could be fish only tanks i know they are majority using RC than IO

Dude
iam not saying the salt i use is the best for all of you its the best for me and what the hell you care your not paying for it Iam

And again once more were the hell its say that every TOTM is using IO cause i cant find it

Dude and I own two skimmers and they are both Vertex so bug off
look at page 4 thats one of my skimmers

 

[luther1200]

I just couldn't figure out why you kept insisting that people who use IO and RC had fish only tanks. Or at least you thought they did. Every person that I know locally who has a reef tank uses IO or RC mostly RC. The only person I know that has a fish only tank actually uses Tropic Marin.

 

[eggiel]

Thats just what i meant you see now you understand what i mean

i know ther are more RC users in reef tanks than IO in reef tanks cause of the parameters and consistency also the are now a lot of people try to take there tank to ULN level and need salt with NSW parameters and that what Brightwell is trying to do but the label is not helping him

It seems like he's just looking to argue.. over whatever. Just leave him alone, and then there won't be anyone to argue with.

Here comes an other one

Dude screw you I dont care what you think
I was not arguing in the first place
You dont even know what salinty 53 .0ms is
came with a stupid answer of the refractive

eggiel,

You're half an inch from being banned from here. The next person you swear at or throw an insult at will be your last.

This is a family friendly forum, so before you hit "submit", step back and read your post and figure out if you are posting like an adult or a 12 year old.

 

[eggiel]

M hurley

Read the hole post you see how people come at people and then you tell me if this is a family friendly forum
this goes round and round

And Iam posting like an adult
there just some people that dont understand and just try to batch you cause they think superiors always have the reason

Its all I got to say

 

[iFisch]

Unsubscibed. Thanks.

 

[createyourown]

so whats the deal with this salt, is it bad or good?

 

[Boomer]

I'm sure the BS is good salt to use, it is just their claims that are at issue. A common thing in this hobby, called Marketing Hype.

 

[eggiel]

Hi Boomer

Not to start a war
just to learn a little more for every 10 ppm of calcium lower how much will the alk go down

 

[Boomer]

eggiel

You need to learn to read things.

Im not complaining your just saying every nice tank around uses IO and asking you to prove it

I never said that, I said most reefers use IO. Quite putting words in my mouth. And polls show that over the years. Big deal you found one poll where RC is more than IO. I also said most use IO or RC. Get your fact straight there.

Were your not correct telling everyboday IO is the best come on man peolple have use it and its not the best for everybody

Again I never said that I said it is the most common salt used. Quite putting works in my mouth.



And again once more were the hell its say that every TOTM is using IO cause i cant find it

Nobody said that here. It is RC TOTM data sheet by Randy. Here it is again. Lean to READ things before you speak.

Here is the link AGAIN, go look

http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/past.php

RC TOTM last 5 years

Number
>30..........Unidentified
9..............Instant Ocean
7..............Reef Crystals
5..............Tropic Marin
2..............Tropic Marin Pro
2..............Oceanic
2..............Red Sea
1..............Corallife
1..............Catalina Water Company
1..............Seachem
1..............Sera
1..............Preis


I said the mayority of IO user could be fish only tanks i know they are majority using RC than IO

Well, it is not by far, as most are reef tanks. Why don't you just go there and ask them and watch what happens.



I guess I cant get bang either if you could post links to other forums

You were the one asking for polls so I posted some and most polls are about the same. There are many, many polls on forums on salt of choice.


Irwin never said what salt his using

You said he was not using IO

Why Iwans zeovit tank never in the TOTM. I personally think it was one of the best tanks and dont uses IO maybe that the reason

You are saying he does not use IO and maybe that is why his tank is not TOTM on RC. How else is somebody suppose to read that ?

How many of you guys shake the hole bucket of salt to mix equal the elements


You did not invent this, many have been doing this long before you were in this hobby, it is nothing new.


And Mike is correct you are posting like a 12 year old.

I and I will not post to you anymore, as it is a waste of time and turning into a circle -jerk and you can't get your facts straight on what is said. Lean to quote things like or other do.

 

[Boomer]

OK, war over then

But I did have my say. So, let it go

just to learn a little more for every 10 ppm of calcium lower how much will the alk go down

It is 20 ppm / 1 meq /l (2.8 dKH), or 10 ppm / 0.5 meq/ l (1.4 dKH) if the Ca++ is going to precip, either biotically or abiotically. That does NOT mean if the Alk drops 1 meq/ l the Ca++ drops 20 ppm. As, Alk can drop form acid reactions and trying to buffer the pH, with no drop in Ca++ at all. That does not mean it will be exactly that but close enough, as kits may not give real true results.

 

[eggiel]

Here we go again
I wont ask you more Boomer
Mike told me I could get bang so i will try and not discuss with nobody else even iI i never started it to be clear

Man Boomer now I have to edit my post

 

[Boomer]

No, you are just fine with me, just let the other stuff go I do not hold grudges

 

[eggiel]

Ok got that

I know i didnt evented the mix the salt when you first get it from the LFS

But i think it is very important cause some elements are heavier than other and salt wont mix correctly
Right

Maybe thats the problem the mate is having 11 dkh
even do BS label in the bucket is just crazy

oh and Boomer I never ment to offend you or others

 

[Boomer]

Yes, the elements are heavier but there is more to it than that, as in particle size. Large particles like to work their way to the top, "Brazilian Nut Theory". One should always find a way to mix the dry salt unless you are using it all at once. And difference in moisture in the bag/bucket also palys a roll if not mixed.

+1 on the diffrent parameters from bags to bucket

 

[Boomer]

At times bags can pick up moisture if the bag is not breathing right or not sealed right after use. This was an issue with new 5 gal bags of IO years ago when the wrong plastic was used and the bags swelled up like a ballon and split the boxs open. I like buckets over bags, as IMHO there is less to go wrong.
