has anyone used tropic marin pro salt

wanted some feed back befor i buy a bucket i need salt with a lower alk then most salts have have been using brightwell and its ok just want to hear about the other

 

I have used the Tropic Marin pro and liked it

its not readily available where I am , so I started using Red Sea Coral Pro
which a few stores have , I like this salt because it gives me good numbers (as did the Tropic Marin ) without additions and I confident I will always find at least one of the stores with stock

thanks again

 

I have used this salt after hearing great reviws. not sure about now but a few years back this was the second most used salt behind instant ocean.

 

Well, I have always used Tropic Marin Pro & with all the Hoopla and economy, I got cheap and went with another salt. It wasn't the same and agree with Steve that my params continue staying up there.
I'll go with a cheaper salt for cycling and such but stick with T.M.P. pretty much.

 

I have never used it myself but I have heard great things about it.

 

i just started using it a couple weeks ago. so far so good, but it is kinda early. i was using IO. id figure id wait till im about half way through with the bucket before i really try and fiqure out what its doing to my levels.


they have that new bio-actif stuff or whatever its called now too. its in limited quantities for now though. the idea is kinda cool, but i think it might be a little counter productive. i think it has some sort of organics in it to "feed" coral.

 

Love Tropic Marin Pro Reef! ;D Best salt out there, just IMHO, of course. Used Instant Ocean Reef Crystals on first fill/cycling and then gradually switched over with the PWCs to TMPR. IME, no salt alone keeps everything in balance all of the time but TMPR comes pretty close...just using 2-part for Alk./Ca. and param.'s are good to go.

 

thanks everyone

 

TM is all I use, period. I was lucky enough to pick up 5 buckets before the price went up. I got them when they were $50, but they are like $75 a bucket now. I didn't see much difference between the regular TM and the Pro-Reef though. At the time, the Pro-Reef was only $5 more, so I bought that instead.
