Comments: I've been keeping reef tanks since 1984 and I have used several brands of salt through out the years (Instant Ocean, Reef Crystals, Tropic Marin, HW Marinemix, Coralife, Kent) Until now I haven't seen any salt mix that could induce such a polyp extension on the first water change. So far I have made a few routine changes and the difference is evident. I've read many threads online about this salt, most of them unfounded, but I'm confident enough to say that this is the best salt mix on the market today. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I've been using this salt for over a year and I find my tank levels to be perfect with every test. My pulsing xenia have exploded all over the tank and are growing like mad, my corals have more vibrant colour than ever and my fish seem to be more energetic. This is by far the best salt I've ever used. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Unsatisfactory

Not what they said it was by KAREN SHULER

Comments: I was very unhappy with the Seachem "REEF" salt I purchased. While it may be ok for fowler tanks, it certainly didn't test out to reef requirements or even close to what they advertise as the parameters to expect.The alkalinity which they stated would be 4-5 tested out at 2.1 (I couldn't believe it so I bought a new test kit--same story--low alkalinity.)The magnesium, instead of being around 1270 as advertised was 900. The calcium would have been high but ok at 460, except for the fact that the pH was so high (6.1) and the alk so low that it caused the calcium to precipitate--in the mixing tank!I have NEVER had another salt mix do that and I will never buy Seachem salt again! So much for believing Seachem's promotional claims. I generally like Seachem products but this one's a black eye for the company as far as I'm concerned.I may not be an expert reefer, but I've had a tank for 7 years and used a lot of salt mixes and text kits. Unfortunately, I've come to the conclusion that these companies don't manufacture salt with the correct elements for reefs because they want you to buy their additives to "fix" the water parameters that the mix didn't live up to. I would not recommend this product to my friends.
