    lol thats my new name? cool. I think I'll stick with reef crystals and I dont see a need to dose since my tank is just 29 gallons so I'll just add salt at 1.026, which it says should give me pretty good levels of calcium and magnesium :)

    That sounds like a good plan to me. Why change what works for you and many others, but more importantly you.

    I just picked up "Microbe-Lift" reef salt the stuff mixes great. True enough I've only done about a 10% water change to date so I've not done a full post water change test but early indications are that I like it. It also comes in a handy resealable bucket.

    I just switched to the new Red Sea Coral Pro and am pretty impressed so far. I have been able to stop dosing 2 part.

    Prior to the switch I was using Tropic Marin Pro and liked that a lot, I just didn't like the price :)
