^^^ +1, with a MSDS indicating between 60-100% purity you just can't be sure of what impurities you will be adding to your tank. No point saving $15 on bulk additives when you could possibly kill $1000's of dollars worth of coral.

Wasn't there issues with Dow at one point? Levels of borate or something? Does RHF currently support the use of Dow Flake?
