I know that this topic has been discussed to death...but I'm about to run out of Oceanic and need to buy something. I know most people use IO, but I had some salinity shift and caking issues. My calcium is off the charts with Oceanic and Alkalinity is at 9. I could either stay the same, but are considering either Tropic Marine and Crystal Sea Bioassay sea. Tropic Marine is easy for me to get and I'm only looking at Crystal Sea because of Ron's article. However, I lot of the other experts think it's all hogwash. Any of you guys have experience with Tropic Marine or Crystal Sea?
Oh I forgot, I'm also considering just buying Catalina filtered sea water as it's more convenient and I can get it just a few blocks from where I live for $0.80 a gallon. Anybody tried this?
