The TM PRO Reef need no supplements... everything tested out perfect in my own testing..

lcstorc · 10-29-2006, 09:18 AM

I just changed over to it.

See I do listen sometimes.

billyr98 · 10-29-2006, 10:57 AM

I don't believe ya, lets see a pic of the bucket

lcstorc · 10-29-2006, 12:36 PM

ROFL
You want a pic of the salt bucket or the carpet? LOL Hmm maybe you will get lucky and get both.

Craig Manoukian · 10-29-2006, 12:52 PM

Both!

lcstorc · 10-29-2006, 05:05 PM

maybe just the salt. The carpet is not at it's best today. We will see. LOL

Sorry about the delay. Had to take care of some stuff, but finally here you go Billy.
LOL

billyr98 · 11-21-2006, 12:35 AM

Nice!!! have u started using it?

lcstorc · 11-22-2006, 07:04 AM

My last 2 water changes I have anyway.

I need to find somewhere to get it cheaper though. It was about $100 for the bucket and I do 35g weekly in water changes.

lcstorc · 01-07-2007, 10:05 AM

Thanks to whoever told me about TM Pro Reef from Drs Foster and Smith. I just got mine in an it was about half the price my lfs was charging including the shipping.
I now have 2 brand new buckets and since it does take a couple of days to arrive I'll order more when I open the 2nd one.

Lynn, I'm using Oceanic, do yo think TM Pro is better?

lcstorc · 01-07-2007, 12:37 PM

Absolutely! There is a thread here with results of several people's tests on TM Pro Reef. They are awesome.
The only thing I add to my tank now is Calc when needed and occasionally a ph buffer.
I do lots of water changes so I am sure that helps, but for now I am totally sold on the Pro Reef. Just keep in mind this is not just Tropic Marin salt. The Pro Reef is the one I have come to love.

In my opinion/experience the Oceanic is very unbalanced, very high in Mag and calcium but quite low in alkalinity and there have been reports of high PO4 with this salt.

Thanks, I am changing. I'll let you know how it goes.
