What is in reef crystals?
What extra trace elements are in reef crystals and in what amounts? I could not find on the box what all was in it.

That's gonna be a tough question IMO. They all claim to have NSW levels of trace elements. Even if you asked others what they use, the levels of trace elements are almost always taken on faith. I would concentrate on other things like Calcium, Alkalinity and Magnesium. Those can easily be tested for and most folks already have tested them. You can also ask which salts people have gotten good results from, and you will find some folks happy with Reef Crystals.
Wish I could have really answered your question.

xJake, do you have anything a bit more complete?
I'd call that the salt mix smack down. Of course now it'll take me three days to decide. |
