I mixed it the same as Reefers Best which is roughly a heaping cup per 2.5 gallons. Whenever I try a new salt it takes some trial & error the first water change. I would recommend mixing it the same as you normally do with your old salt and then check your salinity and add extra salt or extra water depending on the outcome.

I have more of the premium salt available.

It takes exactly 2 & 2/3 cups to make 5 gallons @ 1.026. Done twice and happy with the paras of the mix. Thanks again Greg.

That is some very usefull info to know, Thank you very much!

Post your feed back when you can.
Hobbiests have been going crazy for this salt all across Canada.
The resonse in Onteribble here has been fantastic and several staores have dropped all the other lines of salt to carry Royal Nature exclusively.

We have a store in Montreal that is selling out of salt almost every week!

[PFoster]

I should mention that our Montreal store is selling out with the salt at FULL price. So dont miss out on your chance to try it during the into sale!

I have heard a few reports of competetors telling people that ROYAL NATURE is just over priced H2Ocean but that is far from the truth. In actuality both salts are made by the same "umbrella company" from the Red Sea but Royal Nature is their Premium brand. This previous comparison would be like someone saying a Chevy Cavalier & Cadillac are the same because they are both made by GM.

This was taken from another forum:
I have switched to RNS and have done 3 water changes of 20% each every 2 weeks.
The dissolution rate of the RNS salt was very good with almost no residue left behind and parameters seem very reasonable. After checking the water-salt mix using Salifert test kits, I got the following:
Calcium 400 ppm
Magnesium 1300
dKH 9

Thats a slight difference from what Royal Nature advertises, but as many people are aware our test kits are not exactly the most acurate and a slight difference in the salinity or slightly off testing could be the cause for the values being approx off by 3-6%. Either way its pretty much exactl what we expected.
