salt poll?

[Oakie]

has someone seen a salt poll....I don't see it under the polls section?

I'm thinking of switching to Tropic Marin and wanted to get some views on various brands before I switch.

i use seachem reef.....

I've been considering the same switch, but not sure yet. I noticed there is copper in it as listed by the included minerals, anyone think this is bad?

IO $34 and some change with tax for a 160gal bucket at petsmart. Print out the price from petsmart.com and take it in for a price match.

I used to use Oceanic, after 8 months or so my calcium levels were like 800+, I read on RC of others having the same problem. Maybe it was a bad batch, maybe not. I talked to the guys at The Salty Critter (Ohio), they suggested Tropic Marin, and I love it, mixes well, no problems, been using it for like 1.5 years now.
I'm sure there are other brands that are good, but i'm happy with the switch.
just my 2 cents

 

[Oakie]

actually something that would boost my calcium a bit would be good for me....I'm stuck at the 380 mark with calcium and was hoping a salt switch might help. Don't think I'll go Oceanic, what's your experience been with Tropic Marin and calcium?

i just picked up a bucket of red sea coral pro for my new setup but i'm thinking of switching to reef crystals becuse i haven't been hearing of to many people that use red sea pro. makes me a little nervous.

Oakie, my calcium is at 400 for new water
I dose once a month to raise it to 410-420
Tropic Marin has been very consistant

I use Tropic Marine Pro Reef- costs more but has a higher calcium content- around 440 -450
The alk is a bit low but is not a problem- there are new scholols of thought about lower alk levels- to each his own - I supp.
No need to worry about reading copper.....natural sea water has copper in it.
I've been using Tropic Marine salts for over 15 years- never had a problem!-
PS
I used to use IO but will never go back.
