Just received my bucket of reef salt today, ordered on Wednesday night and showed up already with the pail in one piece. I'm down to my last 2 cups of RC so I'll soon see if this salt is just as good. It's already cheaper than RC and it shows up on my door step so two pluses already. No free bottle of anything though.

Just make note that the Ca/Alk/Mg level is NSW values (410/7.0/1250), so if you keep elevated alk for LPS, then you'll want to boost it up.

Thanks, I'll measure to see what I get on the first batch. The certificate I got says this batch comes out to 430/8.0/1380.

I am glad I found this thread. I saw this companies salt on Amazon but had never heard of them so wasn't sure, but seems like a good deal and with Amazon's free shipping makes it pretty much a win.

The price is great and having delivered to my door is terrific. Very disruptive to the LFS who continues to resist competing at a national level.

No kidding right. As much as I like to support my LFSs I love having that big heavy bucket brought to my door for free!

I filed a complaint to Amazon about my broken bucket a few weeks ago but have not heard anything.... oh well, it was worth a shot.

The last salt(22 kg.) i got from Amazon.ca came in a bag delivered in a box.
I think that's the method they've switched to.

Well they weren't lying to you. The jug showed up today - which blew my mind considering I ordered it two days ago. There was no box, no instructions - just a small jug. I checked out the web site and sure enough, it's meant for a dosing I don't have one so I found an unused syringe for dosing. Not a big deal. I guess we'll see how well this stuff works in conjunction with ProBioticS.

Hehe, nothing on the jug about dosing? The Component 1+2+3+ have instructions written on the jugs, but no instructions on paper are supplied.

Nope. Nothing at all on the jug. Oh well I'm glad I found some instructions on the web site.

Are you dosing ProBioS and NP Pro daily, Myka? I thought I read somewhere that if you're dosing NP Pro that you only need to dose ProBioS for two weeks and then NP Pro will sustain the bacteria going forward.
