RBS: "Reefers Best Salt" - the salt mix made by the company that makes Zeovit products. About $100 for a box

So I bit the bullet and bought some RBS today.. I figured why not.. I finished the first bag of my OPP in the bucket (I have two left I'll post up on the buy sell for a steal)

As mentioned i made my last salt change with the OPP tonight so next week I will start the RBS.

I was in Golds today and Sean told me that they are going to be offering two part dosing Ca/Alk in the next few weeks and offer dosing pumps so that should help solve my lower end CA and Alk readings

When you finally crack the box (its still a box right?) open, will you do some preliminary tests for the rest of us?

Thank you! I am thinking this will be my next salt purchase once I work my way through my existing supply.
