Default Fluval Marine Sea Salt - Reviews?

Has anyone tried the new Fluval Marine Sea Salts? What do you think? Pro? Cons?

I read the specs, Ca was way too high for my liking, and for that kind of price, Reefers Best has a better reputation. It may be decent salt, but not much motivation to try a new product with a high price point that doesn't have a track record yet and seems to shoot for much higher than NSW levels.

At the salinity for that value, yes. I calculated roughly that at 1.026, which is where a reef should be, the Ca is closer to 520. But even if it were 460 @ 1.026, I would still consider that high. I don't run my tank over 420ppm
