How will this work with a system that already utilizes carbon dosing. For example, I run bio-pellets. Is the Pro-reef salt the same as the Bioactif sans the carbon source?

Thanks

The Bio actif (that also can be purchased separate from TM marketed as Reef Actif) does have ULNS qualities, however on a lesser scale than found in systems such as zeovit, the salt is design to replicate every element found in nature this includes natural levels of organics as Han explained to Reef Builders in the article, it does not replace your ULNS, it will complement it.

In regards to price not something I am going to really get into, you get what you pay for in this hobby. If you feel its too expensive for you, dont use it. But until you try it you wont know what you are getting. The RB article again does cover this topic to an extent.

If you dont want the added bio Actif part part still want TM's quality then Pro reef salt from TM is the mid range option.

Here is the best explanation to the Actif part of the salt mix

Chemist and Guru Hans-Werner is the man behind the salt. He works for Tropic Marin and was able to sit down and help us explain why this salt differs from other salts. He tells us that organic substances are an important component of natural seawater, especially over reefs, a saltwater within these organic substances should be closer to natural conditions than a saltwater without organics. Organic substances can alter the solubility and bioavailability of trace elements and can even achieve a codegradation of refractive organic substances like yellow substances and organic toxins.

The salt creates more hydrophobic compounds and bacteria then traditional salts which increases the load of your protein skimmer. You shouldn’t be using this salt without a decent protein skimmer. The reaction to the skimmer was so impressive in fact its like pouring Sodium lauryl sulfate into running tap water. Not to that extent but hopefully you’ve gotten the point.

Wondering with the organic in the salts if a person would see more gunk growing in the water change tub?

No its not that type of organic, its bacterial.
