What is the lowest salinity you've had in your reef tank?

[bee144]

Where did you find that at? I’ve been searching for some info since they would not email me the batch information

If your bucket has a tiny silver logo saying new formula on it, you’ve got it.

there are other threads on here talking about it.

I believe the overall reaction is they might be using higher quality ingredients and thus it’s mixing quicker and better. At least with the blue bucket.

I’ll have to go look at it. What are the chances it’s messing with my parameters?

I have been running my tank at 1.023 because of bad cal fluid. They all read differently. I recently purchased a tropic marin hydrometer. I feel thats the best way to calibrate.

the whole reason i figured it out was when i did water changes my alk, cal and mag would drop. I thought i was chasing bad salt and switched to fritz. Same thing… turns out my refractometer read low. Since buying a hydrometer i havent had issues with levels.

My ammonia and nitrates are the ones being affected the most. Between 3 different types of test that all came fairly close to one another. I never had this issue until this bucket. I did have a slight drop in salinity while mixing so I have to mix more than what I used to

On here. I forgot which thread it was. Something about making it more/easier soluble. Apparently you need to add more salt mix now to get same numbers. I just know the last 2 buckets I’ve gotten have not held salinity. I had to run salt water in my ato. Unless I messed up my mix for the last 2 months. But I’ve been using coral pro for years

I had found myself to have the need to add more salt. At first I thought it was because I lost count and didn’t realize it. But that wasn’t the case

This last bucket has all but convinced me to switch brands. Looking at that nyos salt
