Nerver heard of blulife.

Catalina I am quite familiar with as I have used it exclusively for the last 6-7 years. There are plenty of threads here where it has been discussed at length.

Although, I wasn't aware that Catalina was doing business in Houston. I wonder if they actually expanded their operation to include the gulf coast or if they are shipping by way of railway tanker or something?

i think they were bought out. my recent trip to go get my 5 gallon box, turned out to find out that it is no longer called catalina NSW. off the top of my head i dont remember what its called (im at work), but it is the same water basically, with the same endorsement from randy i think it is, but labled something else. and the spout cap was changed just a tiny bit. as far as i can tell, same water, little different box, same parameters etc etc.

but, ive used it exclusively for years now.. no problems.

i checked my tank parameters and everything seem to be in place yet Polyp extension is avg at best so im thinking if natural sea water will aid sps as far as PE is concerned..BTW i also checked for redbug and found no pest. I have plenty of current and will try to feed rotifers.
Did you guys noticed any difference bt salt mix and nat sea water? please add input thanks
