Tropic Marin Pro salt
The thread in the reef forum got me thinking about what my newly mixed up water was testing at particularly since I am in the process of switching salts. My 230, 44, 24 and 12 I am switching to Tropic Marin Pro salt and for my 190 I am using the new Seachem Reef Salt. I don't have any of the Seachem mixed up as I did a water change on Thursday but do have 10g of Tropic Marin that has been mixed and aggitating for about 12 hours. Temp. is 79 degrees and SG is 1.026 - here are the results
Calcium: 480 Alk/hardness: 8.6 Mg.: 1410 The calcium is a little higher than I would like so will have to watch my readings and maybe adjust my reactor accordingly but overall not too bad. When I mix up a batch of the Seachem on Wednesday I will test it and post results as well for those that are interested.

Where did you get the Tropic Marin Pro salt? I didn't think that stuff was readily available up here in Canada, and I've also heard it's expensive.

I ordered it from Reef Perfections out of Ontario and it was $99.00 a 200g pail. I ordered 8 pails of it and they guy that owns or runs it has a sister that lives in the lower mainland and is a long distance truck driver so it all shipped for $50 total. I picked it up when I was down in Vancouver at Christmas.

Ahh cool, I've heard good things about this salt on RC for reefs. I didn't think it could be purchased locally

FWIW I have also heard good things about the new Seachem reef salt so I will test that this week and post results.
I was definately impressed with the TM salt and think I might try and order some more and see if it can get delivered to Vancouver again so I can pick it up when I come back from holidays in the middle of March.
