Seachem Reef Salt
Recently when in Winnipeg to pick up the new tank, the store had Seachem Reef Salt in stock for a decent price. A friend had switched to it and loved the results.
So I took a couple buckets. I have been using IO for umpteen yrs. and adding the calcium & magnesium, following Chemmaster,s plan. Just mixed a new batch of Seachem. Mixed very well, Calcium @ 500ppm w/both Salifert & Elos test kits. Magnesium @ 1350ppm w/ Salifert Alkalinity @ 9dkh w/ Elos. Salinity was 1.026 w/ 2 full measuring cups. So far impressed. Tomm. water change time. |
Hope all works out for you. I tried a bucket of it a couple of years ago and for some reason my tank did not do too well. Switched back to IO ever since.

Guessing its the good levels of ca and mag. in the salt. I have no problems with IO and adding the ca and mag but was curious about his results with Seachem. I think, :lol:, I used it a long time ago but perhaps they have improved the salt? |
When using SC it's best to keep you alk at 10% higher than you normally would. The product uses 4x the borate of NSW, their old formulation was 20X!!

I've used Seachem exclusively since I first started years ago...and LOVE IT! I use it on the store tanks too, and I gotta say it's great!

I am currently getting rid of all the seachem salt in my tank with lots of extra water changes of IO. I think the seachem is the reason for all my poor PE problems.

I've started on sea chem just for a change about a month ago. I was warned of the high calcium and to not dose kalk or calcium additives (or cut in half) until I did more water changes to offset the old water.
so far that's holding true. no adverse affects yet. |
