Loving the Coral pro salt mix from Red Sea

[treesmoker]

I mixed up my first batch a couple days ago and its great. I tested everything after only a couple hours of being mixed and everything was perfect. Cal-450, Ph-8.2, MAG-1340, and Alk-12.2. Checked my tanks perams a few hours after the water change and everything was spot on Alk-9.4, Ph-8.2, calcium 420. And most important of course.....NO DIATOMS! Anyone looking for a good mix should definately try this one! Also, Marine Depot dosen't charge for overweight shipping.

Thanks for the report Jake.

What is up with the high alk readings with many salt mixes today?

Those are good number Jake. I am using Kent pro and its pretty close to those numbers, my corals are loving the new salt.

Ok, seriously, who runs their sps tank with an alk of 12?!?

And considering, imho, many tanks have chronically low alk, I would think this would be a recipe for burning tips on water changes. Yeah yeah sure, if one only changes 10%, probably not an issue, but why would you want an alk of 12 straight out of the salt bucket?

I run my alk at 7 ... I think the Kent pro is around 9-10 so 10% water change doesn't affect it much.
