Yeah!

there has been a huge uptake in this which is great, looking forward to helping everyone if they need it.

So after running this for a few days,my levels are slowly dropping started slow and bumping it up every day to ensure my levels don't spike. My question is now for a reef calculator what option does a person choose that has similar characteristics as these salts.

I don't think there's any. You would have to play with it to find the right amount. It would be easy since you will most likely be dosing the same volume of all three solutions (that's why there's very specific instructions of the amounts of each powder to be mixed to 1gallon water: generally, about 2dkh of alk drop will drop the Ca by 1.5ppm in every tank and the solutions are concentrated in such a way that equal amount of each three parts will follow that ratio).

TM explained to me the importance is getting your levels balanced i.e where alk ca and Mg should be, balance alk and ca first. If your alk is too high it will buffer both your ca and mg.

once balanced then within a tolerance everything else will be equal to a degree.

ranges

alk -7 to 8
Ca - 400 - 430
MG - 1280 - 1350

I'm considering switching to this from the BRS recipe. I also plan to start using the Pro-Reef salts (Was using H2Ocean)

What I'm looking for is a conversion. I know how much I need to dose daily based on the concentrations prescribed by BRS. I imagine the Tropic Marin system is more/less concentrated. My system is already balanced and stable, it would be helpful to know so I could dial it in faster with less headache.

Also, are the Pro Coral A Elements and Pro Coral K Elements still recommended? What do these bring to the table that the system doesn't already?

Loving the products you bring to Canada. Super pumped Bayside brought this in. Keep it up!
