what are the pars you get when you mix
thanks

I should mention that our Montreal store is selling out with the salt at FULL price. So dont miss out on your chance to try it during the into sale!

Royal Nature is the Cadilac of salt!

I have heard a few reports of competetors telling people that ROYAL NATURE is just over priced H2Ocean but that is far from the truth. In actuality both salts are made by the same "umbrella company" from the Red Sea but Royal Nature is their Premium brand. This previous comparison would be like someone saying a Chevy Cavalier & Cadillac are the same because they are both made by GM.

I was tired of waiting for reefers best salt so i picked up a pail from Greg. Ill make up my 90 gallons in the next few days and post my results and reviews. It looks promising and a great price.

Actually Snappy they are not even made by the same company. They are both made in Isreal, they both use the same base NaCl from evaporated sea water from the red sea but thats where the similarities stop.

They have different ingredients added back into the salt and in different ratios. This is why Royal nature is better ionically ballanced and does not have the same precipitation issues as other brands.

They both use different mixer. While other companies use a large mixer that mixes up tonnes of salt at one time and also introduces heat during the mixing process (which changes the composition of the mix), Royal Nature has a small mixer to ensure their salt is always perfectly mixed in each bucket for more consistent parameters. Also Royal Natures mixer is a different type of mixer that does not introduce heat during the mixing process (I know Ron told us the type but the name alludes me at the moment).

Its not available yet but on the next container of Royal Nature we worked closely with Ron to introduce a new bucket numbering system. Royal Nature is already testing every batch of salt that they produce so now each bucket will be numbered and all the batch test results will be available. We are not sure yet how we will make this data available yet but we have a bit of time still :)

If the Canreef forum users are interested I can ask Ron if he can visit the forum.

This was taken from another forum:
I have switched to RNS and have done 3 water changes of 20% each every 2 weeks.
The dissolution rate of the RNS salt was very good with almost no residue left behind and parameters seem very reasonable. After checking the water-salt mix using Salifert test kits, I got the following:
Calcium 400 ppm
Magnesium 1300
dKH 9

Thats a slight difference from what Royal Nature advertises, but as many people are aware our test kits are not exactly the most acurate and a slight difference in the salinity or slightly off testing could be the cause for the values being approx off by 3-6%. Either way its pretty much exactl what we expected.

Thanks for the info Patrick, much appreciated. I stand corrected but I still think RNS is the Cadillac of salt.:wink:

Can't get much closer to natural sea water than that!:mrgreen:
Thanks for sharing.

Is this salt still available? and if so I have never been to your store what would the address be.
Thanks.
