![]() 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. |

![]() Below is an email from a friend showing some before & after parameter readings. This was his first water change with Royal Nature. Until now he has been using RB salt. Looks bang on to me!
FYI: Going to do my first water change with the RN. Here are the measurements: System Water @ 026 Alk: 7.5 Ca: 430 Mg: 1400 Phos: .03 Mixed Royal Nature @ 026 Alk: 7.5 Ca: 420 Mg: 1400 Phos: .02 Wow……can’t get much closer than that……. Thanks,
