Hey, I switech from Reefers Best to H20 due to the unavailability for Reefers. I can say it is a pretty good salt.

Reefers and H20 mix cleaner and quicker than Reef Crystals. FYI.

Well finally after a week of adding & testing I have ALL my parameters spot on. Will test again in a few days to see how much they drop & add accordingly with the help of the reef calculators.

And with all this hassle I have decided that a GHL dosing pump is next on my list & have made a deal with a fellow top notch reefer to buy the one he is selling . THEN I will have to figure out how to set that up, so anyone with this type of doser be for warned I will be searching for info once I have it.

As well, now that levels are in check it will make it easier to test out the chem's from Eli.

It's a good feeling getting those numbers right lol!

And you may think you're buying a doser but you're picking up this freaking pump first

weird Grizz I have never had a problem with my Mag, it's always up in the 1300's weird what do you think causes the mag to be sucked up so much. is your ALK and CAl going down.

ever since my tranfer to you brother's twin tank the other 96'er I haven't check the levels , actually that is a lie i checked the alk yesterday. it was 11.6 so my Kalk Reactor is keeping up withthe CAL and ALk demand.

Hey another thing what is your MAG level at now and do you have red turf algae on your rocks.

Well I think so of the issue is the fact that it is hard for me to do water changes as I am on a septic system and can't just pour it down the drain. I am tring to figure out a way to connect a line to my RO waste water line that pumps right out to the field.

ATM my Mag 1450, Calcium 440, have to test my Alk tonight again can't remember what it was.

My Mag was around 950, calcium 360 and I have a few rocks that have some red turf on them

Just a thought here Grizz;

I am on a septic and I dump my saltwater down the drain. I also have a water softener that dumps a s##tload of salt down the drain. I have talked to a few people about this and the general consensus is that it won't harm the septic action. Most actually stated that moderate salt levels in the septic will actually increase the biological activity in the tank.

I just had my septic tank pumped out this morning after 6 years of use and it was quite clean. It could of easily gone another 6 years.
