I used the black diamond CArbon, and fill a phosban reactor full on it every month or so
no trace elements as of yet havent bee ntold to use it. i have lots of seachem cal and ALK additives left...
why am i switching salts I have a huge supply of IO salt. I have been using IO for 7 years now. I would like to know why i would be switching salt. can i switch salts after using this IO , why is INSTANT OCEAN not used but reef cystals is

some salts work better with Lith systems than others, Claude has done many experiments and found the one he suggest works best with the Fauna Lith products due to the chemistry of the salt and what additives are used in their production, this can lead to too many trace elements in the tank which your clams will not like

By changing to the salt claude recommends you will have a balanced system with only the trace elements that your system requires at the right amounts also

Hi

hmm i did not know the carbon did you use ist longer time yet
and did you check the PH Level after using it

RC Salt is made for reef tanks IO for fish tank
the IO salt is not as stabil as the RC salt
thats the reason why i said better use this
