![]() I would think it would be a higher quality/purity than food grade. Food grade seems to be the standard we like to see for additives. Shouldn't be a problem with pharmaceutical grade. May have to do some calculations to figure out quantities. I'd say go for it.

![]() In my experience, chemicals designed for reefs far out perform the raw ingredients. I'm not 100% sure why, but I think the reef manufacturers know something...like maybe that's why they add 'other stuff'. I think the 'other stuff' plays an important role.
![]() I used to use Dow Flake, Mag Flake, epsoms salts, baking soda, etc. I changed to using SeaChem and Kent products (mostly), and I think my reef is much better off. |
