    Why do we need another?



    We would if folks would just continue a poll instead of starting a new one every week...
    Just saying

    Just changed from IC to royal nature reef - so far it's been great.

    I voted other cuz I like to over pay for my salt and buy seachem salinity. But the plus side I do like it and it does make more then most buckets of salt. And supposedly the contents are guaranteed to test at the levels on the side of the bucket.

    Well, there is the issue of a new salt mix coming out every month, and the change in the poll that the shift to new mixes will bring.

    I use the new Red Sea Coral Pro, and I'm seeing some wicked growth lately on my SPS.

    I did a quick price calculation on several of the popular salts out on the market a few weeks ago. For the claims vs. price, seachem was right up there. I bought a 50g bag to give it a try. I'm at the bottom of my last bucket of Tropic Marin Pro.

    i use seachem and nothing else. i guess the reason is simply that i trust seachem and it works for me.
