IO is fine for fish only tanks but not for reef IMO.

Very good points that I am getting clear as a smack to the face now ...
Brad eluded to the same idea earlier
You're gonna make me eat my words, aren't ya ?
When I was testing IO NSW with higher readings, I thought it would be enough to replenish my DT through WCs
Then these out of whack readings crammed a stick in my spokes ...
I am considering returning the newest unopened bucket of IO I have and getting into something like the IO Reef Crystals
FYI, I hadn't planned on packing so much money into it this quickly so I bought the 'economy' salt
I'll blame tang daddy and Bblinks for getting me into SPS right away
Don't get me wrong though as we are loving all the color and, so far, I haven't killed anything
