This is exactly me. Hubby is making lasagna for dinner, so I get a little break.

As per previous salt
Aquaforest Sea Salt is on sale with additional 15% off in checkout

Yeah good deal. I’ll probably grab a bag of the AF Reef Salt to augment what I have.

I think the biggest thing no matter what is stability. Pick something and stick with it. Don't change and chase, especially if everything is looking good.

Constantly changing salts or trying new trace elements, or this or that, is just recipe for disaster. Just KEEP IT SIMPLE.

I decided to use red sea Blue bucket, and red sea alk, mag, and Cal and red sea trace. The stability is what matters, keeping it all the same. It doesn't matter the brand (to a point) it just matters you stick with one thing without constant changes.

Anyway, that's just my opinion on the subject lol
I was mixing the two blue and coral pro, my tank is drinking everything out of the water, switch back to just coral pro. Agree on sticking with 1, I was tempted to try AF cause of this deal. Biggest thing for me is how quick it mixes, and coral pro is clear within 20-30min.

I ordered 3 bags total, still have a box of RC to get through. I try to do weekly water changes so this might be the best method.

I use AFR, which I found out does contain potassium fluoride. They also increased the iodine.

Maybe after using the AF salt for awhile I'll do an ICP.

Af mixes quick but low on traces like moly, iron, cobalt, etc..but im a trace snob now..who has gone to limited wcs...lol. hence...I'll spring for a better salt because it will last a long time.
Haven’t done a “change” since moving over to the bigger tank in November

Well aside from my glitter gonis being pouty, most everything looks good today. Care Bears is hopefully settling in its new spot for real now. All the other lps look good and SPS are looking overall good.
