1st time using coralife salt

well my bucket of coralife salt came in today. i am switching to it from reef crystals. i am making up 5 gallons right now for a water change with it. i am going to mix to 1.025 at 77 F. i will post the calcium, alk, and ph when it is ready. i liked how well it was packaged. a bucket with three individual large packages of salt. i opened them all and just filled the bucket to make it easier. the salt is a very fine powder just like reef crystals, and the t shirt was cool to;D

 

alk. 6 meq/l
calc 530
ph 8.1
mixed to 1.025

now with that high calcium reading. is that ok? or should i mix the salt to a slightly lower salinity. maybe my coralline will seriously benefit from this?

 

Tell me how it goes I need to order more salt next week.

 

it went well. mixed awsome. took 6 and 1/4 cups to get 5 gallons of water up to 1.025. like i said, the calc is a little high but that just means no more dosing for me

 

Still happy with this salt? We're about out & were thinking of trying something different. My calc & mag is low every day with the Reef Crystals and I have 5 corals (4 of them are soft and the other is tiny LOL).

 

i have been using it for months and love it..i never have to dose, mixes real nice..i switched from reef crystals and way cheaper..

 

Any idea what the magnesium level is?

 

mines around 1450

 

I need to order salt this week, maybe I will give it a try.

 

In that case, it would be worth a try.

530
7.5
