well,,ill have to wait for the jury on oceanpure salt, its made by Taam, maker of such wonderful products,,,like Rio pumps.

I still haven't received my TM salt ... 10 days with fed ex... yikes

Well, 2 weeks with Fed Ex proved too much for the bucket to handle Per the tracking data, the package has been damaged and is on its way back to drs foster & smith.

I guess I will try the Seachem Reef Salt at my lfs.....

mental note-dont buy salt online~

 

[Woodstock]

Yeah, I could order another bucket... just don't know that I want to...

I am very glad that I didn't need the salt quickly! I still have a bit of my O & IO left.

 

[Woodstock]

I am now a proud user of TM I picked up a bucket at one of my LFS.

 

[Witfull]

did you get your money back? and apology?

 

[Woodstock]

Ohhh yes... Drs Foster & Smith have great customer service... they offered to ship me another bucket of salt using UPS instead of Fed Express.... I politely declined.

Going to be making a switch here. I have always used IO but, am tired of the low calcium and alk. I'll be switching over to Tropic Marin as soon as I use up the 200 gal I just bought last weekend! LOL

Red Sea Coral PRO salt

 

[Woodstock]

TM user here... love it.... did a 75% TM and 25% IO last weekend. I used up my last bit of IO last weekend so I will be doing a pure TM water change in a few days. :bigbounce

 

[billyr98]

i have used TM, but never TM Reef Pro, anyone have any differences between the two?

 

[Witfull]

pro has more Ca.Mg.& Sr.

 

[R.yumaDaddy?]

i mix seachem reef and TM 50/50

 

[cheeks69]

The problem with the salts with higher amounts of certain elements is that it's usually accompanied by higher PO4 levels.:rollingey

 

[billyr98]

Well I did a fresh Tropic Marin Test today

Salinity was @ 1.025
Temp was 80 F

PH was 8.18 (pinpoint monitor)
Alk - 10.9 dKH (salifert test kit)
Calcium - 375ppm (Salifert test Kit) 350ppm (Sera Test Kit - Just got it)
Phosphate - below .03 (Salifert test Kit)

don't have a magnesium test kit

I thought TM had a higher calcium than that?
