Aquaforest probiotic method

Regarding the typo, the 22kg bucket makes about 150 gallons at 1.024 according to my calculations. It says 380 grams of salt makes 10 liters of saltwater at 1.024. So 22 kg should make 150 gallons.

So, regarding the not reading previous posts

According to the link above for the salt testing, it takes 415 grams of Aquaforest Reef Salt (not the probiotic one) to make 10 liters of saltwater at 35 ppt (1.0264), so that would mean 22 kg bucket would make 140 gallons at 1.0264.

That's why he doesn't want to carry it.

I got my pail of salt shipped to the wrong apartment number Not the best time of the year to do that but luckily, the resident of the apartment is kind enough to receive a 22kg bucket on my behalf and let me know when I can pick it up.

I'm jealous. I'm going to do some big water changes to get rid of my H2Ocean. Haha

I threw away half a bucket of reefer's best salt while changing home since I didn't feel like carrying it down and then up the stairs. You can do the same if you want

Myself and others in the Edmonton area have all quit using rbs for the last year. At $140 a box and extremely inconsistent alk levels it was a waste of money

While I liked it when I used it, alk was always dead on. I also wouldn't pay $140/box -lol

Honestly though, other than higher alk, I find no real difference now that I'm using IO again. Other than lower Ca, but that's easy enough to fix.

I also switched to IO. Mixes fine and didn't see any issue when doing a water change.
I have had and seen boxes of rbs with alk from 5dkh to 11 dkh.
I can't just justify the price if I have to change params
