ROYAL NATURE SALT INTRODUCTORY SALE AT CORAL MASTER

[spawn]

I haven't tried it yet & I don't have a scale for the mix ratio they recommend, I wonder if it's a similar amount to reef crystals . Which I use just under 1/2 cup per gallon to get 1.026. Has anyone mixed it up by the cup yet? Thanks.

I mixed it the same as Reefers Best which is roughly a heaping cup per 2.5 gallons. Whenever I try a new salt it takes some trial & error the first water change. I would recommend mixing it the same as you normally do with your old salt and then check your salinity and add extra salt or extra water depending on the outcome.

It takes exactly 2 & 2/3 cups to make 5 gallons @ 1.026. Done twice and happy with the paras of the mix. Thanks again Greg.

Post your feed back when you can.
Hobbiests have been going crazy for this salt all across Canada.
The resonse in Onteribble here has been fantastic and several staores have dropped all the other lines of salt to carry Royal Nature exclusively.

We have a store in Montreal that is selling out of salt almost every week!

This was taken from another forum:
I have switched to RNS and have done 3 water changes of 20% each every 2 weeks.
The dissolution rate of the RNS salt was very good with almost no residue left behind and parameters seem very reasonable. After checking the water-salt mix using Salifert test kits, I got the following:
Calcium 400 ppm
Magnesium 1300
dKH 9

Thats a slight difference from what Royal Nature advertises, but as many people are aware our test kits are not exactly the most acurate and a slight difference in the salinity or slightly off testing could be the cause for the values being approx off by 3-6%. Either way its pretty much exactl what we expected.
