Salt Question

[bigjdotcom01]

I am torn between Tropic Marin Pro-Reef and Reef Crystals.

My latest bucket of Tropic Marin had a dKH of 7.5, Calcium of 415 and Magnesium of 1200 @ S=35. Is this normal for TM?

Reef Crystals seems to have a higher dKH (8), Calcium (approx 500) and Magnesium (approx 1410).

I will be dosing BRS two-part, but the magnesium levels seem low. Anyone have thoughts?

My 110g tall tank is currently cycling but it will be a heavy SPS setup.

RC should mix up much higher than 8 (11-13)….I would double check the test kit, maybe that's why you're getting 7.5 with the trop M.

i would get the cheaper one personally.
