Who is the manufacturer? Is it the same as Red Sea?
If it is Red Sea, what is the difference between the two products?

I was told by my LFS and many friends, that this salt has a better Mag leval then red sea salt. "People that actually use this salt"

BTW: We have to stop reading about so much bad advise on some products that we know nothing about. (Just Gossip after Gossip)
