    Anybody using this seawater system mixing salt?

    E.S.V. B-Ionic Seawater System 200 Gallon Salt Mix (Packaged in Two Boxes)

    We went to a local Aquarium bloggers house to check out his toys.
    He has an amazing setup...L.E.D lights,pumps,salts ...ect.
    He is using this system for some of his tanks and its amazing the clarity of the water with this system!
    He has a Nano tank and does a 90% water change on it 1 hr after mixing it! The corals are amazing in this nano.

    Just want to see if anybody else is using this?

    I've not used it personally. However, whenever ESV puts something out, it's generally well thought out and of excellent quality.

    I've yet to get a mag supplement to beat out ESV. That said, I'm interested to see how this stands up to Seachem's Salinity.We filled up our new tank with nothing but Salinity and every measurement was on point with what the batch label said it would be. Does ESV give an estimate of mag, cal, ph, etc?

    I really want to give this stuff a shot. I have a stack of half used saltwater mixes that I tried and didn't like. I finally settled on natural seawater, but that is starting to get expensive with two tanks. Of course I am nervous about changing what has worked so far. Time for more research I suppose.
