It could be, not sure but it hasn't worked out well for me. As of now I don't see any benefit of continuing the use of AF salt.

I had read about probiotic salt causing cyano problems, but not the reef salt.
For those having problems I wonder if you are using any carbon dosing, bio pellets?

i tried to use aquaforest's carbon dosing method (probio S and NP pro) and found they were just too effective. they basically drove my nutrients down to unmeasurable which obviously is far from ideal. not to mention it seems counterproductive to be carbon dosing and immediately after dosing NO3 and PO4 just to keep your corals from starving.

What I found is my corals love af reef salt. I had some of the outbreaks too, but the af seems to be lower on ph than others so I just keep my ph/dkh in check and it all went away. been using for 4 months now or so.
