Reefers best salt
 
Well after today it's on to the new salt I picked up. Refers best let's hope it turns out to be as good as I have heard it is. Has anyone else had any experience with this salt. I will be reviewing what I find with this salt on this thread.

I've been using it 2 years in my tank. Good initial values, mixes clean. I like it.

I was given a sample. Currently been using salinity. But thought it was mixing a bit cloudy. Tried the refugees best and was amazed how clean it mixed. Just waiting for a shipment now

I didn't notice any difference as I used it from day one. I've got a few SPS in my tank doing pretty good. I find the salt mixes consistent, and when I test, the numbers are always the same. I don't have to roll it even :)
It's a decent salt, mixes fast and clean and I do 50g water changes at a time and everything loves it.
Honestly, you won't see a lot of difference in growth rate, even if you use IO or some other salt, because you have to assume that dosing or a Ca reactor will be needed to raise and maintain levels. If you did see a difference in growth, it probably wouldn't be much. Lighting and flow and food, etc, all play such an important role and are so different in each tank, that growth rates are only guesstimates in each tank. The salt costs a lot more, so for me to spend that I would have to think I'm getting something for it, which I do with this salt.
