I am using the probiotic salt right now, not sure where it says and also a friend confirmed that if using probiotic you should be doing smaller waterchanges like 10%. Anyhow I still have lots of IO so for bigger WC I use that.
The difference I've heard with the probiotic compared to the reef is that it is abit cloudy when mixing but goes away generally after a couple hrs.
I have only done 5% wc every 3 days to remove detritous with the probiotic salt.
Once I am done I am switching to the reef salt because I don't really notice any difference with PB vs IO.

Any update? I just tested my "reef salt" bought on Boxing Day (batch #530). It tested 6.4dkh 3 times in a row on 2 different Salifert kits (exp 2019 and 2020). Took a water sample into J&L and it tested 6.7dkh (also Salifert)

No wonder my SPS would only tolerate really small water changes. Aquaforest website says it should be between 7.4dkh to 8.2dkh so something is definitely outta whack with that batch number

Garbage salt, IO or blue bucket much better .
