I've been seeding my siporax with the Pro Bio S and have done a few water changes with the Aquaforest reef salt and the corals seem to be responding well.

I've also just received these Aquaforest products which I began dosing and putting online yesterday:

Coral A
Coral B
Coral E
Coral V
Coral food
Reef mineral salt

I'm still waiting for the NP PRO and component strong which are due to arrive by the end of the week.

They probably include those freebies only with the buckets as an apology for the struggle that you have to go through every time you try to open the lid. First world reefing problem but I simply can't get over this!

I swapped mine into an instant ocean bucket right away.

There should be a measuring cup provided with a 5 liter and 10 liter marking but to be more accurate it's roughly 160grams per 1 gallon to reach 1.026

So roughly 800 grams per 5 gallon bucket.

Best thing to do is buy a cheap kitchen scale that's what I use the measuring cups not quite as accurate. Just use a refractometer to confirm salinity.
