    No. I was curious if there was silicon within it.

    Take a look at brightwell as well, but it really depends on what corals you have.

    My LFS told me I should switch form Instant Ocean to TM because Instant Ocean was not as good for Corals. Anyone hear anything to support this statement?

    I alternate between I/O and RC, I have used I/O since 1996.
