Bummer! I've not had this trouble before...

Has anyone tested alkalinity of freshly mix Aquaforest Reef Salt (non-probiotic)? How about Aquaforest Sea Salt?

salifert showed KH @ 8 for reefsalt

hopefully amazon gets more stock soon....

im concerned. Usually when amazon is out of stock, they still have the item up with notice saying more coming soon. Now reef salt is gone altogether, i dont wanna go back to IO

Yeah I noticed that too.

Lame! I'm running low on the reef salt too. I don't want to pay that price for the probiotic version. Plus I don't think the probiotics are necessary....

The 22kg bucket of reef salt was gone from Amazon a few weeks ago but came back... I wouldn't worry too much.

Bayside Corals has Aquaforest now! YES!

Mindy, did you ever get an answer on your question about doing large waterchanges (75%+) with the Probiotic Reef Salt? Have you tried it?

Also, how does Aquaforest Component 1,2,3 deal with excess/buildup of Chloride?

Yeah, Aquaforest does not recommend doing large water changes using the Probiotic salt. I've done 30% water changes with it, and I didn't get any bacteria bloom or anything. I'm not sure I wold try bigger than that.

The third component is chloride free mineral salt.

So maybe I'm better using the reef salt and dosing probiotics seperate?
