			 I thought the same about the algae but I know of a few locals who made the same claim, so I did some snooping online and found others saying the same 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
			An as far as I can tell my Alk MAg and Cal and more stable now. Also I check about 6 different salt comparisons done and the Alk is quite high in RB Last edited by Bryan_k47; 10-23-2013 at 07:44 AM.  |

			 I have used H2ocean for over 2 year but constantly needed to boost alk. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	Now I kinda mix H2O, Fluval Sea and IO Reef Crystals when ever I can get a good deal on H2O or not :0)  |

			 H2Ocean for sure! I found with IO I was getting some gross build up on my power heads - heaters & pump in my RO barrel. With H2Ocean it mixes clear, real fast & there is absolutely no build up!

			 Reef Crystals for me and the reason being for the amount I need to dose to maintain proper levels the cost actually works out better in my favor. Being able to get chems in bulk also helps.

			 I use the fluval salt. Disolves quickly and has a higher calcium level then most other salts, which I personally like.  It consistantly tests at 450ppm at a .025 salinity every time.

			 I hope this isn't true, I'm making the switch to H2ocean from Red Sea Coral Pro. I really dont want to but Big Al's doesnt seem to be stocking it any more. RS has been a great salt for me and doesnt seem to lack anything. I dont want to have to dose for something that my regular salt generally has. If it is true then thats lame.
