I'm switching from Seachem Reef Salt ($54/160g mix) to Saltwater Correct ($70/160g mix) in a few months. I am starting to buy all of my bulk reef supplies from there, so I mise well go ahead and order my salt from there as well. Might start getting discounts. lol!
I'll start posting my results as soon as I can get a batch in to test.
I think it pretty much goes without saying that the more you pay, the better the quality of salt. LOL!

 

[florida joe]

well just checked out a LFS in Ft Myers they have the 225 g mix in stock for $89. will pic it up on sat and give it a try

You need to do a search. I can't post a link. Sorry. You should be able to find it. If not PM me.

Picked up my salinity today I will do my first water change with it tomorrow. My usual water change consisted of 10g a week. I may go to 20g every two weeks with the new salt. I will have to give it some more thought.

Mine was clear. Mixing my second batch right now for a small water change tomorrow, working insane hours this week and going out of town next, so it will be 2 weeks before my next water change

 

[florida joe]

Mixed my first 12g batch, calculations for salt to water ratio was spot on. Lois after few hours the water cleared up.

 

[btldreef]

Supposedly the extra potassium in the mix makes the water a little cloudy when mixing. But, it is also attributed to better colors on corals.
Just as a side note, if you have any cuts on your hand, WEAR GLOVES, potassium burns.

WHY OH WHY...DO I have issues with EVERYTHING I use

I was thinking about doing a 2nd w/c tomorrow....ONLY because I am having the algae issues.....BUT I just ordered some Chemi-clean....SO now I am not sure if I should wait or not
