Trying out the new Aquavito Salinity Reef Salt

[fpd4308]

I am mixing up my first water change with the new aquavitro salinity reef salt. So far it looks good, is packaged well and seems to mix well. It is also taking less salt to get to 1.025. I have been wanting to try this salt out since I first heard about it. I have heard nothing but good things about the params when mixed. I will keep you all informed.

Man.. I gotta say this stuff mixes up clear. No cloudiness at all, that I can see.

You gonna test it and post results?

Yup. Sure am.

So here it is. I mixed 4 gallons of water with 2 cups of salt. It should be noted I used API test kits which aren't everyones favorites but they have worked pretty accurately for me and I don't test very often so I don't waste a lot an expensive test kits

Salinity 1.026
Ca 440
dKH 11
Ph 8.4
Mag 1250

Those are almost perfect for me because that is about where I like to keep my params.

I also noted that after the water change none of my corals had any temporary polyp retraction or sliming as the sometimes have done with other salt mixes
