OK, so ive praised Aquavitro Salinity for a tad over a year now and from what ive gathered from personal ex. and from others including my LFS which is actually a really smart individual lol. i have gained the fact that Salinity being a mech./chem. "man-made" salt a.k.a. synthetic, its come to my concern on Why i have not gotten much skeletal growth on my corals. my acans grow there polyps like crazy, spreading over my rock. the war coral has tripled in diameter and yet the skeletons being calcium based are... lacking? from reading a TON of boomer's threads from multiple places on the net, ive found that:
-the type of calcium and other minerals (trace) etc. are not as easilly picked up and utilized by corals for skeletal growth in Salinity.
-from what ive read on RedSea and what there new Coral Pro Salt is about and the proccess on which its made, im thinking on making the switch.
this is in part of reading from BRS and watching a vid. on how redsea makes/gains there salt. in terms its gotten From the red sea itself through i guess you would call de-salinization proccess. from this talking to my LFS owner, he said when he used it, His corals in his personal tank seemed to use up more calc. and mag., etc. from the salt, hence More water changes.... But WAIT! isnt "corals using up more materials" than before a good thing in essense?? being that omg, yes... you have to do more water changes. so? this cost half as much as Salinity but my corals will be healthier and use up more avail. elements they need in order to maintain a propper skeletal backbone from which to grow further? so i guess im tossing out the Q of:
Who has used RedSea's new salt: Coral Pro Salt? and is it indeed a good product possibly better than Aquavitro's Salinity?
TY all :apint:
