    Just when we had enough to choose from, another new way to replace the water in our systems. Nature's Ocean Nuti-SeaWater. Instant water changes with no mixing required.

    I saw it recently and I thought it was just another ploy to make a dollar just like the Natures Ocean live sand. Plus if it does work it's very expensive.

    I don't know about their sea water, but their live sand works great.

    I have a good friend who lives in an apartment who uses that product (although different brand) all the time. She says it is such a convenience as she has no RO/DI unit. I feel it's a little pricey myself....

    I don't know. Non of my lfs have it here yet. Like you Matt, I can get salt water for about $1 a gallon. I saw the ad in this months issue of FAMA.

    Wasn't trying to sound negative although after I read it it sounded very negative of me to down Natures ocean. I used their live sand in my tank. I didn't think it was as great as it was made out to be. I think your better off getting live sand from somewhere like Reeftopia or Dr.Mac. I think it would be rather expensive to top off with that stuff.

    I tried some of this earlier this year. It was pricey but the thing that shocked me was the salinity was higher than I was expecting. I think it was running in the 1.027 range.

    I prefer to run 1.203 - 1.205 which meant I dilluted it a little.

    Everyone seemed happy with it.
