I'm really not sure we ever will find out what the best salt mix is.

See that is the problem with the whole controversy created by this crusade. The answer to this is not to go out and to change your salts. The answer is to ask how can reef tanks that are years and years old and that have used salts like IO and others be in such good shape and have survived (in quite a few cases) over 10 years.?? See with this latest crusade he is trying to leed us down his path to what his formulated conclution already is. and that is "we add the salts that contain the metals, which get locked inot the substraights until a point of saturation and then it is released into the water and everything dies" Well guess what? its not true. It doesnt work like that. niether in our tanks or in nature. its not in the rocks or sand. even though most all metals will bing to carbonate, its still not in thier. Now all you have to do is figure out why. and where it is instead. Once you figure that out it is an easy fix and then u can look back at these experiments and understand that some MB have to stir the pot in order to attract attention, and thus thier speaking fee's and event calenders fill up.
