tropic marin bio actif salt vs Aquavitro salinity salt

[Checkitout]

Just wondering the if anyone has tried either one or both. And what did you think about it?

 

[Checkitout]

So does anyone have a opinion on either one?

I just ordered a bucket of bio actif yesterday so I could probably comment in a month or so after a few water changes

I've talked to 2 people yesterday that have been using the new Tropic Marin Bio-Actif for a couple of months and they love it. I just cracked open my first bucket this week, so I can't comment on it yet.

Well I bought a bucket of the Tropic Marin Bio-Actif salt and will try to post some before and after pictures using the salt, if there is that much of a difference.

Recently started using Aquavitro salinity salt and have been very happy with it. 1 bucket makes more salt than any other bucket (i.e. AV is rated 225 gallons at 1.025 vs. others that rate their # of gallons based on a lower salinity).
Haven't used Tropic Marin bio activ so I can't offer a comparison.

I was ordering things from marine depot and got a bucket at the same time. Free shipping over $175! I almost ordered more but I figured I'd try one first.

Have been hearing great things about the TM bio actif. Its about time to buy a new bucket and not sure if I want to go ahead and try that or just stick with my DD H2O.

I got the same situation and thinking of trying the Aquavitro brand and it's available local.

i have been using the aquavitro for the past month or so. was using tropic marine pro, but the LFS has decided to pick up the Auquavitro from now on. i must say i don't know if i am a fan yet. i mean , my corals look great , but when i do a water change i sort of sense a little stress in the system. i have a hunch that i may be cause i'm doing to much of a water change. been going with 10-15 % weekly on a 90 gal. going to try and push that too every 2 weeks gradually and feel it out. great thread though. i want to here how others feel about this salt as they use it more.

Well I got a chance to pick up a bucket of Aquavitro today and I am mixing 20g of freshly made 0PPM RO/DI water I will run all the basic parameter tests ca,mag,dkh on it tomorrow around this time and post them.

 

[TopNotchCorals]

One thing I just noticed as the salt is mixing is that this Aquavitro salt has a real funky smell to it has anybody else noticed this?

Any updates from anyone using the Aquavitro Salinity? Considering switching from Brightwell...

 

[gqjeff]

How long are you guys letting the Bio Actif mix/storage before usage?

I stopped using the Bio Actif and went back to standard Tropic Marin. I had nothing but bad luck in my system with this variety of salt.

Any new updates, anyone still using it?
