"Salinity" Salt
 

Hi Guys,

Anyone know where I can find a good deal on "Salinity" Salt? For the big pales, I'm paying about $100-$109 right now.

I don't think it will go any lower than $99 since that's most probably the set price by Aquavirto. Its an expensive salt after all and doesn't come in sale (like ecotech stuffs)

cheapest ive ever seen the big pale is 99 at pices.

Gold's...$90.00 cheapest place in town!

Thanks for the reply everyone!

I read it mixes cloudy and leaves some residue behind. What are your observations?

CA is through the roof

that has been my experience with it as well. I'm not sure if that's really a problem but I just didn't like it :-)

I mixed a bucket and tested it the other day. Calcium was at 483, Alk 6.9 PH 8.4. I used RO/Di water but no buffer that was recommended when using salinity with Ro water.

I am going to mix up another fresh bucket today after rolling it around a bit and see what readings I get.
Since I have started the bucket, my coral growth has been noticeable in just a few water changes.

I don't like the parameter swings though. not sure if it is because I am not using a buffer to help stablize it with the Ro water or what. A day or so after a water change my Calc readings are 400 alk 8.4 ph 7.8

I havent noticed a residue or cloudy water.

Just curious, are you using a doser? If not your levels are bound to swing. ROcks and corals suck your elements out. Coralline lives Ca!

Just my thoughts as salt won't maintain the levels on its own.

You probably knew this already but I can't assume.


Also do you let you mix settle or aerate for 24hrs? H2Ocean recommends it and maybe yours does too. It ensures it actually mixed and everything dissolved.
