![]() 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?

![]() RBS has a lower, more neutral Ca than other salts because its designed with the use of a Ca reactor in mind, eg. no sudden surge in Ca after a water change.

![]() Since this product comes in a box, is the bag inside resealable?

![]() There is just one large bag closed with a rubber band.
I moved the bag from the box to a plastic tub (from another brand) to protect it. Before putting it in the tub I rolled the bag around on the floor to make sure it was mixed well. I reseal the bag with the rubber band it came with and put the lid on the tub to keep moisture out. |
