I have only used Brightwell products on my tank for about 9 months now and I love it. From the salt to the two part to the amino's I've used it all.

Brightwell's is the COOLEST! I use Reef Code A&B, Restor, Magnesion, Reef BioFuel, Microbacter7, and even occasionally some Reef Snow.

The reef snow creates a pretty wicked feeding reaction, doesn't it? I add a couple drops and everything is ready to feed!

It does indeed, although "wicked" is the key word. That stuff is potent liquid fertilizer, and if overused will result in large amounts of hair algae materializing out of nowhere

I'm guessing you guys have heard of them? All I've ever used is stuff made by Kent, but I'm just now starting to venture into the reef side of things so I was thinking about switching brands.

Part a&b "calcium and alkalinity" and magnesium would be a great start...Once you get more corals you could look into a few others... Oh yeah there kalk+2 is a must in your top off!!!

I'll definitely looking into it. My lfs doesn't carry brightwell but a hydro store my friend frequents has them in a sunlight supply Inc. Catalog. He gets a discount for his "non-reef" hobby, so I wonder if I can get stuff for my hobby...hmm. If not, where do you prefer to shop for brightwell?

I've been using brightwell aquatics for about 3 years now and have never had any problems and would highly recommend using their product. I use dry powder cal/alk/mag and elemental.

It's my understanding that Chris Brightwell use to work for Kent marine. Once he left things for Kent products went down hill and he started his own line. I personally use Reef Code A&B and his Vitamarin C with food. So far so good for years!
