Rant is justified....and I'll add to it. Why can't the salt manufacturers even tell us what is actually IN their salt? TMPR goes as far as to list a bunch of elements, but doesn't say in what concentration any of them are.
Boron in OPP? That's the first I've heard of that. It certainly doesn't say so on the packaging. None even state what they expect the Ca/Alk levels should be when properly mixed to specific SpG with RO/DI water. If they can't even get the Ca/Alk levels correct, how am I supposed to believe that the trace elements are even close?

I'm just about to try OPP, and may not actually try it. Instead I may continue to use Red Sea Coral Pro after reading this thread.

I am with the rest of you. I bought 10 pails of OPP. I like the idea of the individual packing. I do a 50 gal water change weekly and I like being able to dump in a single bag without having to measure 24 cups of salt. However, my Mg is 1500-1600. On Saturday the Ca was 501 with the OPP using the pinpoint monitor? I am also going to switch to another brand of salt.
I also agree why can't they list the composition and concentration of chemicals in their salts?

FWIW...I just tested my make-up water yesterday and the Mg was at 1590ppm. Oh, and just because we all like numbers, Ca was at 445ppm and Alk was 7dKH.
