That's silly, those are two completely different colors.

I have no idea who makes them, but I use them both and the price is a great deal no matter what.

My "WAG" is that Seachem salt mix is made by Seachem. But that's just a guess on my part.

Oh My ****ing God, the same bucket supplier is used. It must be a conspiracy to make all reef owners use the same salt. I mean it could never be possible that they just happened to use a bucket design that has been working for another manufacturer.

Sounds like someone needs a nap...

Are you guys from Northwest Indiana?
It looks like the buckets are the same (except for the color) but the salt is made by 2 different companies.

Oh and by the way, the sale rocked at MRS

Probably but people alluding to the fact that just because the buckets are made from the same manufacturer the salt is made by the same company without any facts to back it up. Dissemination of rumors like that is what leads new hobbyists, and seasoned as well, to go insane when doing research.

They are both made by the same company. At the DFS conference a few of us in our group were talking to the sales rep at SeaChem and he said that they outsource there salt and it was made by the same manufacturer and I/O and R/C. I honestly don't believe he was supposed to slip up but he did. Also when talking with one of the reps from Marineland he said they make salt for at least 4 different companies. They are all different mixes but cheaper for other companies to have salt made. So in this instance yes the buckets come from the same Mfg. as well as the salt.

 

[nait002]

Also different company makes Kent, Oceanic, and Coralife. I believe the rep said they were manufactures in Dallas but by the end of the year they were going to move the salt operation to Franklin, WI. So Slowcobra there are some "facts" for you.

 

[SlowCobra]

If they are made by the same manufacturer then why are the element levels different from salt to salt?

Your signature says it all. You must be right and I'm not going to argue.

Oh thats a good one, you got me. :rolleye1: Answer the question with sound reasoning. Why is it that there is a claim it is the SAME salt in a different bucket. Using the Cobalt vs Corvette is asinine as there was NEVER a claim it was the SAME car.

If it is the SAME salt why, when tested, do the levels come back different?

 

[McLaughlin4]

who cares.........does it taste good on french fries?

It is simple company A tells company B, (company B is the salt manufacturer) make me 1 million pounds of salt. Here are my ingredients and specifications. Many light bulbs are made by the same company as well

it's called contract manufacturing
