Let's try your tank first.

just curious to see how many of you will be staying/ switching brands with the new aquaforest pricing?

I myself will probably be staying, although given the price point I will also probably try another brands in that price range (salinity & H2Ocean) to see if there is any difference.

I only bought the AF reef salt because it was cheaper than what regular IO salt usually goes for around here. I haven't noticed any difference in my tank than from using any other salt I've used over the years so depending on what I can find on sale locally compared to what I can get AF for I may use something else. I'm not interested in the probiotic salt for the price since there's lots of cheaper options to add various strains of probiotic bacteria to the tank.

Aquaforest entered the market here way too cheap, there's no way they should be priced in the bottom half of salts, let alone one of the very cheapest (obviously not including probiotic). I do like the salt but one of the reasons I use it is simply convenience of it being available on Amazon. I have already switched away from some of their products, for example Rowa is far better than Phosphate Minus... I guess this is a long winded way of saying I will switch to other products without much concern if I have to.

Does anyone know if the huge shipment of AF product has arrived in Canada yet? Been told by a few LFS to expect it in Nov.

I was able to get the coral additives, Np Pro and Pro Bio S at my lfs this past weekend. My understanding is that the small items can be sent by air, while the salt (possibly other larger items) have to be sent by sea. My lfs expects the salt in the next week or two. So it seems the North American or Canadian distributor has some stuff in stock now.
