    Hey Guys.

    I maintain aquariums for a living and also have a few tanks of my own. Brightwell Liquid Reef is one of the main supplements that I use in my nano reef. I also use this stuff among others for customers tanks.

    In the past, a half capful would cloud my 18 gallon nano and a full capful would make my 40 breeder very cloudy.

    Now it seems as if 1.5 capfuls is needed to cloud to water as much in my 18 gallon, and 3-4 capfuls is whats needed in my 40 breeder to make the water just as cloudy. Test results also show that this dosage amount is needed to maintain levels.

    The liquid itself also looks watered down. Previously, a small amount poured into the cap would look like milk. Now it looks like watered down milk.

    Anyone else notice this? Its possible the past few shipments may have been different then normal.. but I'm just wondering if anyone else noticed this and if this is the new standard? I wonder why they would change the formula without changing dosing instructions.
