Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt

[tboy]

does any one have the water parameter for Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt.
i'm looking to buy it and used it on my new tank but i never used it before not sure how it is.

water parameter for salt? You mean the salt level it should be or what?

I use TM and have used TM Pro. The reg TM is around 380 CA and 8-10 dkh ALK. But what I found with the Pro is that the CA is about 450 but the ALK was barely 6 DKH. Granted this is when the Pro first came out a year (or more ago) so they could have modified it and gotten it right. I prefer to adjust CA rather than buffer but have considered trying the pro again.
I know a couple of folks on here use Pro......

thanks Tim
so what are you using now and what do you think is the best.
What I known is reef crystal and instance ocean has good level of CA and ALK
but where i'm about to order my supply they only carry TM pro.

I just switched and testing Red Sea Pro. It is what the store I work at uses (and doesn't carry TM). The jury is still out.....
I'm not going to talk you out of TM Pro b/c its great salt and consistent. I also have an ALK issue with my tank anyway. So it really depends on you're own tank.
