i've been using tropic marin pro for awhile. i was finally convinced by a fellow reefer from another saltwater site i used to frequent. i've had nothing but positive effects after using this mix. the one really nice aspect is that i hardly dose anything, i used to dose a two part calcium/alkalinity supplement but all my parameters are right where i want them to be after switching to tropic marin pro, so i stopped. i still dose lugol's solution every so often but i haven't seen any real noticeable positive effects so i may stop that all together also. the only thing i've heard is that if you keep sps (which i don't, but will shortly) you may need to bump up the calcium, as of right now my calcium hits above 400 using seachem tests. all in all, it mixes and dissolves quickly, i have had no need to dose any other supplements and most of my corals look a little healthier. on a negative note it is a tad more expensive than most salt mixes...hth. _________  |
