Hi Fencer

Please don´t use H2O this salt is relabeled Red Sea Coral Pro and we have some really problems with the coral coloration.
Take TUNZE Salt or SeaChem or Instant Ocean
The other salt i did not have expierience with so it is difficult to say

greets claude

I thought I would post this.

We have had a reviewer on another forum for a year now and here is a video of his year end result

Here is what he said

1 year anniversary of using ultralith video
Hello everyone, I started using ultralith on January 1 2008, so I just hit the one year mark and decided to shoot a video of my tank. I am terrible at taking nice pictures, so I thought this would be a little better way to show the corals and colors that I am getting. It has been an experience, but once everything is dialed in, you learn what to dose and how much to dose for your tank and it's needs. I hope you enjoy watching, please let me know what you think of it, I appreciate feedback.

Thanks Claude....I will be introducing the Coralife salt slowly in to the system

Here are 2 more comparison pictures
The top photo
This photo shows 3 corals in a row. All of them have considerable reduction in symbiotic algae. The first coral is showing much of it base layer(kinda dark) and the blue coloration is much stronger. The second coral show the reduction in symbiotic algae with better pylop extensions. The last coral (not in focus) was a control coral bought locally. The owner and I agreed that it was totally brown with miminal coloration under MH light. The effect of Ultralith is very dramatic. The second coral picture show the amount of symbiotic algae reduction on the base layer. More pastel colours are starting to show as well a growth increase.

So H20 salt is the same product as Red Sea Coral Pro?! :surprise:

WOW impressive photos!!!!!!

Considering the small amount of time you have been running Fauna Ultra Lith this is outstanding.

Cant wait to see the results after 3 months. :razz:

Do you have proof of this???

Claude please note the differences between the RSCP and the H2Ocean as listed in this 1 independent study and I have more studies if you have time. I have been following this thread closely and am looking for a proven coral system, not one based on conjecture.

Fencer It looks like you are doing a great job and the Fauna Marin system is looking promising. Remember that information without proof is only gossip, (from me included) so keep up the studying and keep up the good work.

Hi

The coloration of the corals is also depending on thesalts you use
and if the salts contains to much Trace elements you wil get brown corals.We checked severals salts also in UK available salts and they was the same
in coral reaction and water parameters
In our european experience we know that the salts change sometimes the paramatern and the reaction of the corals is from batch to batch different.

I would like to know where you got the info from? I switched from RBS to H2Ocean a little while back and my coral continue to look good. Like Kevin said, the Red Sea salt tested different then the H2Ocean salt. From my findings on the few buckets I've used now (from 2 different batches) the test results that I have found are very similar to those listed on the container. If it is just a repackaged salt I would like to know.

HI

I think you missunderstand me due to my bad english
i talk about Red Sea Coral Pro and there are many salts on the market which make brown corals if you work with a Low nutrition system
This means not this salts have a bad quality.
maybe there have to much Trace elements in which you can only see
if the corals are bright.
In normal Systems you cannot see this
We use long time RSCP in our own systems at the moment we check another
salt to see which is the best in combinaton to the Ultralith System

The tests which i do 6 month ago showed that what i said
