Looking for a new salt mixture for 10g packed/full mixed reef tank - 30-40+ different frags - about 1 years old.
Have been using Tropic Marine Pro Reef salt at 1.026 salinity and this stuff mixes up at ~ <7 dKh, Ca ~380, and Mg ~1200… doesn’t match the manufacture listed parameters and I am annoyed with matching parameters for each water change (~1g weekly). Not sure if I got a bad batch, but would like to switch regardless.. I have to add/correct parameters of fresh salt in order to match tank parameters.. I make 5g fresh saltwater each time and store for next water changes. (About 4 weeks worth)
I keep my parameters at:
Salinity - 1.026 (tested daily @ 9pm)
Alk - 8.5 (tested daily @ 9pm - hannah)
Ca - 420 (weekly - salifert)
Mg - 1350 - 1400 (weekly - salifert)
Just looking for something that is the closest to overall tank parameters. TIA!!!
