That's what reg io does to me I had to scrub my PH n heater after EVERY w/c since iv switch I havent had to clean them so Much and u can tell my coral is happier with the change only 1 month in and I'm getting new color, better polyp extension and best of all actual visible growth on my sps.

I use regular IO and dose with b-ionic all and calc. Everything growing well

Never and sludge or anything. Always dissolves completely

I have been using reef crystal for a year now and never ever had brown sludge. I have gone through 4 buckets already and nothing but happy. I have huge large palythoas and zoanthids polyps and my sps are doing great and growing very fast.

I will not change salt and will stay with Reef Crystal. I love it and it is much cheaper than H2O which I tried and had bad results with my zoanthids and some SPS.

Best salt I ever used and I tried a few (H2O, Red Sea Coral Pro, Seachem). It always mix clear and fast. I even use it right after mixing when replacing the water from the coral I sell and it clear become clear in no time.

I love it as well and just bought 10 pails =)

I'm not very good with rinsing my mixing container after a water-change so I think letting things sit isn't great either. I think what I'll do from now on is get the next batch mixing immediately to make rinsing it unnecessary.
