H2Ocean for about 3 years......I find it does mix a little dirty but it doesnt bother me...... as for the claims that it causes cyano or diatoms, I think that is BS..... more likely a change in conditions is the cause the cyano/diatoms but whatever......the thing that attracts me to it is the fact that it is a naturally evaporated salt, not a synthetic.....

I have used RC from day one. It's all I know, never tried anything else. I always test it before it goes into my tank from my barrel.

At 1.025 Cal is between 420-440 and a dkH Of 8.5-9. I disagree with the statement "loaded in Mag" above. It is consistantly lower around 1150-1200 and I alway have to increase Mag before it goes in. My personal experience.

Torn about switching to another salt but I think it's coming.
