Like John O I've had good succes with IO salt and Coralife as well. To those who are touting Oceanic be aware that there is at least 1 very bad...
Update, my system evetually was a total collapse after 1 week. Even after doing extensive water changes I could not reverse the effects from the...
Just to update, my tank was eventually wiped out. I have posted the results on another reef forum extensively as well as asked indivdual mfgs to...
The tank has stabilized after having changed out almost 20 gallons of water. No changes in the corals (they still look bad), fish are doing ok,...

I'm not saying Hagen is bad I'm just saying that as far as the Ca test results people should be aware they're probably not as accurate as most people...
It was 10% of the tank i.e. 5 gallons for a 55 gallon tank with LR. I know people will be skeptical of the results and I completely understand that,...

I'll stick with IO and Coralife. I've never had a bad experience with either and if you read my posting on Oceanic you may wind up changing your...
I'm glad to see at least some people are having good luck with Oceanic Salt. My experience has been less than favorable at this point. To start,...
I've used IO, Tropic Marin, Coralife, and Kent Marine for over 20 years and always had good results from all of them. For consistency though I've...
