Crystal Sea Bio-Assay

Some serious hobbiests are starting to switch I think.

This thread is 19 pages long so I'll just snip the quote over. Hope she doesn't mind.

I started out by hooking up my auto top off to my bucket of Crystal Seas salt water and gradually added five gallons over a couple days. That was about a week ago. I didn't see any signs of trouble so today I did an actual water change with it. I changed approximately 20 gallons. That was at noon, about 8 hours ago.

As I was writing this I looked over at the tank and saw something cloudy. My big diadema urchin, Spike, just spawned several cloudy spurts. Cool.

Anyway, no signs of problems yet. I'm going to make the switch. I found the salt very well packaged (3 sealed bags in the bucket), of a very fine, dry consistency and no more difficult to mix up than IO. I didn't see any of the cloudiness I've read about. Maybe it could be my mixing technique? I always make my RO/DI water in a Rubbermaid Brute garbage can with a heater, a MaxiJet 1200 powerhead or two and a tube connected to an air pump.
