I used Sifto for years. But I came across Kirkland Mediterranean Sea Salt with grinder. Now the house favourite.

My fish and coral do great with IO though

Actually, I spoke to a company rep last month and he stated that Ca between 360 and 430 was acceptable and expected. not so stable, in my mind I've since gone back to reefers best.

Best thing to do is pick one and try it out. You'll know fairly quickly if the levels in the bucket are adequate for your tank needs.
Yeah, my tank is NOWHERE near as awesome as yours! lol hubby is in LOOOVE with it more than I am! lol so my load isn't all that much at this time. My 3 green chromis, blue eyes cardinal fish, firefish, goby and misc cuc seem to be happy happy.
So I was thinking of grabbing a small bag/bucket worth to trial for a month. The pieces I got from you are doing AMAZING! They are bushy with all the polyp extension and also have great colors. My open brain just doesn't seem to be happy. I might just swing in and grab some Mg supp and pa-rooze the isles to see what they have for salt. Thanks for all your guys input, Kien might have to arrange a get together so I can pick your brain and let hubs check out your set up! :P
