I have to say its better then the available NSW from UC Santa Barbara. I used it for a while until I found AquaCraft...seriously. Hands down the best salt I have used. I found a local connection and bought a pallet of Marine Environment. I also use it on all my tanks I service.:smokin: the good stuff.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=14954789#post14954789 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by billsreef
In that case I've got you all beat...I use Mother Natures own salt, the stuff all the manufacturers attempt to imitate

Ok the owner is not everyones favourite but whats wrong in priding in the product you create. If you dont believe in what you sell how would you expect others to believe in it.
And that talk about ingredients is nonsense...and unproductive. You want to talk cutting corners on ingredients then one of the big 3 brands is guilty of it. Im not here to bash any products so no names out of me.

60 miles to SB. I would get 100g per trip, 3 per month. Although its free, its still not worth it. Some swear by it and some swear at it.

So what, all companies have legal issues. This one is more public for some reason. What salt do you use THALES?

Well, suing a NPO reefclub just because you want their domain seems pretty icky, and I wouldn't want my dollars to support such a company - especially when there are plenty other salt alternatives out there.
I find that the S-15 report is still being used as marketing to be troubling as well. This is old news, but the report has been widely understood to be bad science by industry professionals (for a start - http://www.wetwebmedia.com/aqcrftsaltmix.htm ). That it is still in use as support for a the company that produced the report makes it feel so much more like marketing slickness than something helpful. And, we routinely route companies for doing such things (weiss products anyone?) that I become unsure why some ignore it in this case.
Every so often, over at least the last 10 years, this salt gets brought up and some people swear its the best thing ever when it seems to me its just another salt. If this salt were magic, more people and more institutions would be using it - but they aren't. Its just a salt with a lot of hype pushed by the owner of the company. I don't particularly see any problem with the salt itself though, I just choose not to use it for reasons I have already posted.
I use IO, RC or Tropic Marin.

Geezz...
Why did I think you were in Long Island? Must be the meds....
:lol:
Your mixing up the West Coast and East Coast people
The Gulf Stream swings past North Carolina on it's way north, past Long Island on it's way up to Labrador. Neat thing about that, it brings us juvenile tropical fish in the late summer
As far as my water transportation, I work in a marine lab with a seawater well. All I need to do is turn on a tap in the lab and fill a jug
Even if I didn't have that advantage, I live on an island...don't have to drive more than a couple of minutes to get to a beach Brian-
It would be hard to understand why a manufacturer - that exists or dies based on establishment of "good faith" with hobbyists - would actually sue his customer base???
And - not all companies have legal issues. None of mine do. It is often just a choice of doing the right thing for the customer that makes the difference.
I do not know of anything positive or negative of this salt, or the manufacturer.
But, I have - as I am sure everyone has - seen companies that forget the value of good customer relations, and quality information about their product.

Of course the report is in their favor...they wrote it. All I know and care about is that it the best salt I have ever used...PERIOD..Believe me I have been in this hobby for almost 15 years and have used every gimmick and salt there is. I use it because it works great for me and my customers...
I know other local reefers that use RC, IO and Coralife and swear by it. I personally would never use it, but they indeed have good results with it, same with the NSW available at UCSB.
I am not a salesmen just a satisfied customer.......why else would I buy a pallet at a time. I definetly didnt pay the "AquaCraft" website price either....
