In my defense, "Aquavitro" is still "Seachem" just their premium brand.
 Anyhow I like the online batch# param lookup they offer, that's a great idea. Quote:

Hmmm...I use Reef Crystal as well and I have no problem with the magnesium or calcium. Are you sure your test is good? Even if it is brand new, it might still be bad maybe?

Yes I am sure it is good and I am sure you are doing more regular water changes then I am able to do ATM. The reason I say this is when I do a water change I have to haul the removed water out to my slew, can't just pour it down the sink as this would fill my septic tank to fast.
Are you using RC in the bucket or box, I have noticed that the levels are not as good from the box as it is from the bucket. I got way better levels from the last BUCKET I had. If I stay with RF I will never by a box again.

Interesting I am also using my first box of RC. I never actually tested the new water this makes which is bad I guess. I better do that.

I can't remember where I heard or read about it but the boxes do not have the same parameters as the buckets.

Reefers and H20 mix cleaner and quicker than Reef Crystals. FYI.

Well finally after a week of adding & testing I have ALL my parameters spot on. Will test again in a few days to see how much they drop & add accordingly with the help of the reef calculators.
And with all this hassle I have decided that a GHL dosing pump is next on my list & have made a deal with a fellow top notch reefer to buy the one he is selling  . THEN I will have to figure out how to set that up, so anyone with this type of doser be for warned I will be searching for info once I have it.As well, now that levels are in check it will make it easier to test out the chem's from Eli.
