Kent salt users

Christy, double check your SG calibration. If it is high it will cause all of your other numbers to be high. Do you have any of your old salt left? or you could try some salt or water or SG tester from someone else.

I'm still using it . Just bought another bucket the other day actually. So far, demand for the levels is keeping up with supply and I'm liking how I don't have to dose lately. I am concerned about Iodide (Iodine?), however. Was dosing Iodine a good long while back. Then my colt coral virtually disintegrated. Tested tankwater Iodide. High. Did lots of water changes. No change. Tested changewater Iodide. High. This was well before I noticed higher than usual tank water Ca readings, however, so I'm not sure if it's related. An old Salifert Iodine test kit too. Getting a new one next week. Will test changewater for Iodide then. For shame, I know, continuing to use this salt without knowing for sure , but other than that Colt, everything is relatively happy.

Cheers,

Well FWIW, I would have kept on using mine as well if I hadn't noticed issues with my sps. I mean who doesn't want a salt that has kick *** Ca, Alk and Mg levels? (granted that second bucket was pretty high at 15dkH).

FWIW, update re: my last post.....

1). Iodide/Iodine wasn't a problem after all. My test kit had gone bad.
2). Supply levels began to overtake demand. Still using Kent, but I also use IO now too, to help level things off.
3). Have introduced another Colt. Thumbs up.

Cheers,
