salt and SPS

[cfmx]

I was just wondering what salt mixture everyone is using w/ there SPS systems?? And are you happy with it? Are your sps growing and have polyp extension?
We currently are using Tropic Marin of course it cost an arm & leg.
I just wanted to see what the majority of people are using w/ there system.

IO. Works fine. You just have to add calcium to it.

I use I/O and buff CA & ALK. I was told that TM is good on the CA side but it was just a tad low on the ALK. Is that true cfmx?

My sps are doing awesome.

Lemme know how it works for you. It seemed to spur a bunch of nuisance algae in my tanks.

for all you TM user, when you make your next batch of make up water test your CA & ALK and post them please.

Thxs...Paul

Within a few weeks of switching. I do water changes every week.
