Fluval salt

Monster00101 · 12/27/2012, 12:09 PM

Got a free bag of fluval sea salt at the Los the other day. My gift has a pet store but not marine. Fluval is one of her suppliers so I could get it cheap. Anyone ever use it? I use h2ocean pro for the last couple years with no problems but the guys at the lfs said its as good if not better.

I am coming from Reefers Best and think it is a distinct downgrade.

Everyone says it mixes clean, but if this is clean to most people I would really hate to see what nastiness other salts leave.

That is after one 50g mix. I have mixed boxes and boxes of reefers best in that container and it's stayed as clean as the day I bought it, one mix with fluval and I get this nastiness.

The salt if fine I guess, Ca was a bit higher than I think it should be, but everything else was good and didn't notice any difference in corals or fish.

I get a little bit left behind using the stuff I use now but not that much. Maybe I take a look at the salt u usually use

I love reefers best. It mixes quick and clean. I don't lose polyp extension during or after a water change even.
