careful.
you might get sued. |
I have been using it for a bit now and really like it myself. I have tested the Mg, calcium, alk, nitrate, K+, ect. a few times now and been very pleased with the results.
Its funny though because when I first got the salt, I thought, this is the exact same bucket I used to get the Red Sea Stuff in (same handle). Then I opened it and was like, wow, this is the exact same bag and little "tie" thingy used to close the Red Sea bags. Then I opened it and though, hmmmm...it smalls exactly the same (slightly different from other salts, IMO). It also takes longer to mix like the Red Sea stuff does. So I wouldn't at all be surprised if at the very least it is in fact made at the same plant or actually just the same stuff. Both are real sea salt... |
OK People who are using it and clam to have tested it. Can we see some numbers!

12/12/08 PH 8.37 (Probe) Alk 9 dkh (Elos) (This worried me since I am running ZEO) Ca 420 (Salifert) Mg 1280 (Elos) (Would be nice a bit higher I guess) K+ 400 ish (ZEO) (I have a hard time with this test but it was high) Nitrate None that I could test but my test kits are not great in the low range. 01/30/09 PH 8.4 (Probe which was calibrated on 12/26/08) Alk 9.5 (Elos) Ca 480 (Elos) Mg 1300 (Elos) K+ 380 (ZEO) Did not test nitrate Hope this helps. I can go back through my "test records" for more if you want. I tested it a few more times back when I started using the salt but I was also using less reliable test kits back then too, so figure the results may not be useful. All results are based on H2O salt mixed to 1.026 with 0 TDS RO/DI water and heated to 78-80 degrees. |
Thanks Justin. numbers look good. But I agree ALK maybe high for Zeo

The high Alk seems to be consistent with my results too though. I think this is what I worry about being a ZEO user. But so far once I do my water change, my tanks ALK is still only around 8 (in the safe range) and drops from there over a few days. I dose two part for ALK and Ca and after a water change, do not dose either for a few days. Actually I am finding that with my tank being relatively young still (coral wise) that the weekly water changes take care of most of the ALK needs and about half the Ca needs. |

I am doing a water change today and will test the salt again. |
