H2o is made by the same company as Red Sea Salt, same formula just with a slight increase in Calc & Mag

Where were you able to find that info? I tried looking for it but was unable to find anything.

I think I might have seen that over on RC where individuals were getting information about Red Sea products with their buckets of H2O

I'll check there, i know that there was a post by fauna Marin a bit back on here saying something like that but when asked for an explanation and proof it ended up being a translation misunderstanding as he was just clumping a bunch of salts together that could have similar adverse results when using their line of products (I think it was due to higher alk readings then what they recommend for their system). I've gone through a few buckets now and never gotten any red sea info with my buckets, so I would really like to know if it is indeed a new salt or is it another salt with some raised parameters.

From what I have found using the 2 companies websites it appears they are different companies completely.

But I would not be surprised one bit if the company that owns H2O is contracting out manufacturing to Red Sea since both I believe are natural sea salt based. But that does not mean its the same formulation as Red Sea.

I"ll use my previous company as an example, we sell meat products however we don't produce the product, we contract that out to maple leaf but they make it to our specifications so our product is still unique from maple leaf products.

so weak that they stopped selling tropic marin...
Loved that salt, went from IO to seachem to kent marine....
now I have to change again?

you'd think one of the other LFS would pick up the slack but they all seem to be ditching tm...

anyone know why?

Probably will do some DD on this new stuff, The logo almost looks like the deltec one BTW...
