Red Sea Reef Foundation ABC+ Thoughts?

Posted a similar thread in the Reef Forum on use experience. In this thread I am wondering if the Sages of Chemistry could comment on this product for use in a 28g mixed reef.

They should be fine. It's basically the same as the DIY 2-part. I haven't used those products, though.

That's what it looks like. If it were not for it being from Red Sea (not generally known as a fly-by-night company) I would be skeptical of it being a magic potion. For a small 28g tank it seems to fit the bill fairly well. I tried about 10 grams last night in the back sump (JBJ 28g AIO tank) and only one or two tiny particles made it out the pumps into the main tank, and they dissolved before hitting anything (basically, this stuff seems to dissolve almost immediately).

Randy, do you have any thoughts on this? Magic potion or elixir, or "probably does what it says it does"? I'm thinking the latter...and it *seems* to be ideal for smallish tanks if they are already "in-balance". I do use IO salt by the way...and plan to try adding this to my water change (pre-mix salt water) container.
