Tropic Marin Pro salt

I just had an e-mail back and there is not a problem getting a similar deal on salt. The price of the salt would be the same just save big time on shipping. I am going to be ordering some more so if anyone wants some just let me know and I will arrange to get it sent. I am going to arrange for mine to be here in the middle of March as that is when I will be down in Vancouver when I return from holidays.

That's awesome.

I originally looked into getting Tropic Marin but it was a pain locating. Perhaps we'll have to lobby @ the local stores and get them to bring it in. (would be easier)

I used to get Tropic Marin from Henry at DAD's Fishroom, just off Whyte and 99th. It's been a while though, so I don't know if he can still get it.

I think I would be more interested in the TM Pro since I haven't heard anything bad about it. Wouldn't want to risk getting an entire pail of the Seachem only to find that it's lacking it something.

Ruth would you be able to test the PO4 and NO3 (I know it should be zero, but look at what happened to Oceanic)?

I did test for PO4 and it was at 0.00 and that was using a Hanna colorimeter. Did not test for NO3 but will on the next batch I make up. BTW the salt that I am using is the Tropic Marin Pro.

How do you like the Hanna Colorimeter?

It's a bit finicky to use but once you get the hang of it not too bad. You just have to be very careful not to let any foreign material into the little curvette reader thingy (that's technical talk for all my fellow geeks). Definately scares me that I was taking the word of my Salifert PO4 test kit as I got multiple higher readings using the Hanna.
