Thanks for fixing the link.
Like most of the high-end salts the retail price is set at about $95 per bucket, however I will be running a great introductory sale price while initial supplies last.

Snappy 01-17-2011 12:23 AM

Salt is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning.:biggrin:

kien 01-17-2011 12:46 AM

I like introductory offers! :D

Snappy 01-17-2011 11:25 PM

The ROYAL NATURE SALT arrived today as scheduled and is readily available at Coral Master NOW! :biggrin:

Just curious....that bucket makes.....160 Gal ?

spawn 01-18-2011 03:33 AM

How much is the intro pricing Greg?

Snappy 01-18-2011 03:36 AM

Intro pricing is $80 but on two or more I'll do it for $75. Suggested retail is $95.:biggrin:

Yes just like all others that size.

Snappy 01-20-2011 01:22 AM

I must say I am impressed with the way this salt mixes. It disolves faster than any other brand I've tried and doesn't go cloudy like the Seachem (Aqauvitro Salinity) always did when I used it. It mixes at about the same rate as Reefers Best but as I said disolves quicker. I like it!

You're right, that salt is the best I ever tried.

PFoster 01-24-2011 03:10 PM

The bucket will actually make up 180 gallons worth of salt water at 1.025

spawn 01-25-2011 12:23 AM

I haven't tried it yet & I don't have a scale for the mix ratio they recommend, I wonder if it's a similar amount to reef crystals . Which I use just under 1/2 cup per gallon to get 1.026. Has anyone mixed it up by the cup yet? Thanks.

I mixed it the same as Reefers Best which is roughly a heaping cup per 2.5 gallons. Whenever I try a new salt it takes some trial & error the first water change. I would recommend mixing it the same as you normally do with your old salt and then check your salinity and add extra salt or extra water depending on the outcome. :biggrin:

I have more of the premium salt available.

spawn 02-04-2011 02:23 AM

It takes exactly 2 & 2/3 cups to make 5 gallons @ 1.026. Done twice and happy with the paras of the mix. Thanks again Greg.

PFoster 02-04-2011 07:40 PM

That is some very usefull info to know, Thank you very much!

Post your feed back when you can.
Hobbiests have been going crazy for this salt all across Canada.
The resonse in Onteribble here has been fantastic and several staores have dropped all the other lines of salt to carry Royal Nature exclusively.

We have a store in Montreal that is selling out of salt almost every week!

what are the pars you get when you mix
thanks

PFoster 02-04-2011 07:50 PM

I should mention that our Montreal store is selling out with the salt at FULL price. So dont miss out on your chance to try it during the into sale!

Snappy 02-17-2011 08:02 PM

Royal Nature is the Cadilac of salt!
 
I have heard a few reports of competetors telling people that ROYAL NATURE is just over priced H2Ocean but that is far from the truth. In actuality both salts are made by the same "umbrella company" from the Red Sea but Royal Nature is their Premium brand. This previous comparison would be like someone saying a Chevy Cavalier & Cadillac are the same because they are both made by GM.

BlueTang<3 02-17-2011 08:13 PM

I was tired of waiting for reefers best salt so i picked up a pail from Greg. Ill make up my 90 gallons in the next few days and post my results and reviews. It looks promising and a great price.

PFoster 02-17-2011 08:15 PM

Actually Snappy they are not even made by the same company. They are both made in Isreal, they both use the same base NaCl from evaporated sea water from the red sea but thats where the similarities stop.

They have different ingredients added back into the salt and in different ratios. This is why Royal nature is better ionically ballanced and does not have the same precipitation issues as other brands.

They both use different mixer. While other companies use a large mixer that mixes up tonnes of salt at one time and also introduces heat during the mixing process (which changes the composition of the mix), Royal Nature has a small mixer to ensure their salt is always perfectly mixed in each bucket for more consistent parameters. Also Royal Natures mixer is a different type of mixer that does not introduce heat during the mixing process (I know Ron told us the type but the name alludes me at the moment).

Its not available yet but on the next container of Royal Nature we worked closely with Ron to introduce a new bucket numbering system. Royal Nature is already testing every batch of salt that they produce so now each bucket will be numbered and all the batch test results will be available. We are not sure yet how we will make this data available yet but we have a bit of time still :)

If the Canreef forum users are interested I can ask Ron if he can visit the forum.

This was taken from another forum:
I have switched to RNS and have done 3 water changes of 20% each every 2 weeks.
The dissolution rate of the RNS salt was very good with almost no residue left behind and parameters seem very reasonable. After checking the water-salt mix using Salifert test kits, I got the following:
Calcium 400 ppm
Magnesium 1300
dKH 9


Thats a slight difference from what Royal Nature advertises, but as many people are aware our test kits are not exactly the most acurate and a slight difference in the salinity or slightly off testing could be the cause for the values being approx off by 3-6%. Either way its pretty much exactl what we expected.

Thanks for the info Patrick, much appreciated. I stand corrected but I still think RNS is the Cadillac of salt.:wink:

Can't get much closer to natural sea water than that!:mrgreen:
Thanks for sharing.

Trocar61 02-18-2011 09:43 PM

Is this salt still available? and if so I have never been to your store what would the address be.
Thanks.

Smudge 02-18-2011 10:26 PM

Ditto!

Snappy 02-19-2011 07:32 AM

Yes the salt is readily available.
My address is 240 Deercroft Pl SE Calgary 403-278-5751

Snappy 02-23-2011 12:11 AM

Below is an email from a friend showing some before & after parameter readings. This was his first water change with Royal Nature. Until now he has been using RB salt. Looks bang on to me!

FYI: Going to do my first water change with the RN. Here are the measurements:

System Water @ 026

Alk: 7.5
Ca: 430
Mg: 1400
Phos: .03

Mixed Royal Nature @ 026

Alk: 7.5
Ca: 420
Mg: 1400
Phos: .02

Wow……can’t get much closer than that…….
Thanks,

Snappy 02-23-2011 05:32 AM
