Salt mix poll

[EvilE]

I keep hearing that Instant Ocean/ Reef Crystals produced some bad batches of salt--that sucks because I have a full pail I recently bought from DrsF&S--anyone know any current info on this problem?

I haven't heard of this, if I see anything I'll let you know.

Instant Ocean is fine.

Reef Crystals seems to have manufactured some buckets low in calcium and magnesium unlike the normal RC formula.

They are aware of the problem and I expect to be straightened out quickly.

This only affected the buckets from my testing. The bags are fine.

what did I pay for the RC? If that's what your asking, I paid $31 plus shipping for the salt-so around $40-$45 total. It was a killer deal, and I was going with the "tried and true" salt everyone raves about, now that I buy it, theres a problem with it.....story of my life.:rolleye1:

I wouldn't write it off just yet. Everyone has a bad day once in awhile. Give them a chance to correct the problem.

Do you really want to switch to a salt mix that only 1.27 % of consumers use ?
