Any distributors in the USA? My searches do not turn up any results except for Europe.

I remember back in the early 70’s there was a saltwater mix that had the Dry Salts, and a bottle of Liquid Trace Elements. It was either the first Instant Ocean or an early competitor.

I use this mix. It’s fantastic! Water changes are so much faster, no more overnight mixing. I have a Nano and the 2x10 litres lasts ages, doing 10% weekly water changes on a 20g.

I can't find this in the US either...

I've been using this since I setup my tank a little over a year ago, and I have no complaints. It IS indeed super easy, but I'd like to make it even easier by using it with my Neptune Apex to automatically dose it to maintain salinity. (I find that with emptying my protein skimmer, drip-acclimating fish, and perhaps some other factors my salinity slowly drops over time.)

HOWEVER, I'm having difficulty figuring out what exactly is in each of the two parts of this solution, and why they are separated. Can they be premixed into a dosing container, or kept separate? What exactly is in each that requires the separation to begin with? I'm assuming it's some sort of calcium chloride in one and alkalinity in the other, so they are kept separate to prevent precipitation - but that's just an assumption. Can anyone say for sure?
