Apparently this thread is way off topic and become a discussion of Aquaforest salts(Sorry Myka), I came across this review online, just in case anyone is interested.

There is a google translate button on the top right.

Shingo, I think that link was posted earlier in this thread, but thanks for sharing! :)

I just heard word that Salty Supply shipped a bunch of Aquaforest products (I believe more than just the salt) to Amazon.ca, so get your little clicker fingers ready! :D

Received a bucket of Reef Salt today. Is that smell the Bio S sample? Not sure I want to bring it in the house!

I'll likely transfer the salt to an easier to open container. I'd rather not tear my finger nails off opening this one.

huh, interesting thread. Can't wait to see what everyone thinks of these products once they used them a while. That probiotic salt seems kinda cool...

Yes it's the bio s sample the box itself stinks. The bottle is fine I gave it a wipe down though prior to putting it in the fridge and made sure the box didnt enter the house.

:lol: Is it really that bad guys? What kind of stink? I didn't realize there was a sample in the Reef Salt too. The probiotic salt has an NP Pro sample, I'm not sure if that stinks too.

Can this method be used in a skimmerless system?

Minus the zeolite stones of course. I've never looked into probiotics in a reef before, sorry if this sounds noobish.

No smell from NP Pro. Its just liquid polymar so shouldn't smell bad (or else I would have been very concerned :razz:).

Probiotic bacteria should stinks bad. I remember zeo-bac smell like rotten eggs.

Unlike the natural nitrifying bacteria (which converts nitrate to N2 gas which escapes from the gas in form of bubbles), probiotic bacteria strains consumes the nitrate (and phosphate too I guess). These bacteria strains needs to be skimmed out (only a small percent is consumed by corals) by a skimmer in order to remove the nutrients from the tank. As a result, all probiotic methods need highly efficient skimmers.
