Anyone using/used Aquacraft salt?

[mseepman]

I am a dedicated user of Aquacraft salts. I live in the Okanagan and since there are only 2 stores in Canada that sell it, I have to ship it from Edmonton (Aquarium Illusions).

I currently use the Biosea version (1 step below Marine Environment Salt) because I don't have the facilities to mix the two part Marine Environment properly given how much salt I go through.

I used to use IO, but it was total crap. I had nothing but problems with it and I always hated the fact that there was dirt (like sand) at the bottom of my mixing barrel whenever I used it.

I then tried Reef Crystals but I was wanting to switch over to more SPS corals and I found that I needed to dose more additional things when I used this.

Using the Biosea, I get great CA right out of the gate (around 430) and my Alk and Mag are both good as well. I still have a lot of softies, but my tank is the healthiest it's ever been and even with the addition of a dozen SPS frags and a few larger pieces...I don't dose CA yet.

When I look at the various salt studies out there, Aquacraft salt always does very well, even on the studies that I question their testing methods on. The S-15 report goes so far as to suggest that Aquacraft completely dominates the rest.

I belong to a forum in the US called Reefaquariumguide.com and by far most of their members are dedicated Aquacraft users. Some breathtaking tanks on their site.

There you have my 2 cents.
