, switch to a new batch and it went away . I wasn't testing at the time so I don't know if cal and alk where out of wack but there was definitely something in the salt .

My reef looked like crap when using instant ocean reef crystals. I had all sorts of issues. I switched to h2ocean and it's now a completely different reef. The colours and growth are way better and my parameters are more stable too. Everything looks a lot more healthy. I'll pay the extra $20 to have a beautiful reef.
