I'll let you know how it went in about 30 minutes Only doing about a 10% change, I don't expect anything bad. But then, I never do...

OK, nothing jumped out of the tank, still have polyp extension, mixing bucket is clean, levels are good and I have a new salt. And I transferred it to a bucket, salt in a box is not convenient...

Why don't you dump it into one of the many empty salt buckets that you must have lying around?

I think if all of us pooled all of our empty 5 gallon salt buckets we could probably start a pretty good bucket business.

I'll have to take your word for it, those aren't test kits I have.

So far no bad reactions, so hopefully the next 12 hours stays that way.

I have been using RBS for several months and don't dislike it.

I have been using RBS for a while now and love it. After using it for a bit I found all of my corals seemed to be happier, and growth has improved as well. I also liked the levels of the MG and Potassium. I have heard that there is another salt company that produces a very similar salt mix for about $ 15 dollars less (RBS @ $85), I forgot the name but am thinking of trying it out and if I see no differences I'll make sure to post.
