Has anyone else tried it?
They sent me a free 50 gallon mix pack so I have used it for my last 2 water changes. The params for the salt from my mix bucket are
Ca 440
Mg 1320
Alk 8.6
I will also say the color of my corals has improved dramatically in just two water changes, my softies especially mushrooms are HUGE! This is enough for me to buy a 200 gallon mix and explore further

I was very tempted but ended up getting reef crystals. Maybe next time.

Keep us updated. I wasn’t even aware they had their own salt.

I just got in 400 gallons of LR mix and did my 3rd water change on both systems. Almost all corals are brighter (no improvement noted in zoas). My mushrooms particularly Yumas have dramatically increased in size. My Appleberry tends to look on the verge of bleached is now its proper neon green, also my superman vs kryptonite is that super green at places other than the tips. In negative news shortly after starting this Salt all my chaeto died. Im unsure as to why perhaps nutrients ran too low but I have replaced it and its growing again. The mix is consistent and my parameters have remained very steady.

Its been over a month. I will say I changed a few things, I dropped my salinity to 1.025 and reduced my water changes from 10% to about 7%. (After losing all fish in the outage in October my tank had unmeasurable phos and nitrate). My parameters have never stayed this stable this long, my alk has consistently stayed between 8.3 and 8.6, CA solid at 440 and mg 1360 to 1400. I continue to be very satisfied with this salt.

Thanks for the update. It is sooo hard to keep the bioload low. There is always a dream fish that you’ve just gotta have in your tank.

Im about to open another box. I did recommend it to a friend and he ordered 4 boxed his first mixed to an alk if 12! This is far off from what I recieved. I know he called the company. Ill be testing each box prior to changing.

How different is his make-up water from yours?

Upon follow up his mix params are spot on with mine his refractometer was off.
