Aquaforest reef salt

[MikeyAl]

I currently use IO and am possibly looking for a new mix that is better for coral growth. Has anyone used aquaforest? Any advantages to switching?
Thanks

Not a big fan.
If IO has worked well for you, but you just want better coral growth, why not just switch to RC?

I could go with RC. I've heard mixed reviews as well in terms of consistency.

How about Red Sea?

I was always a Red Sea coral pro fan, and still am. I setup my tank with RC and did not like it and switched back to the RSCP. Someone suggested the @Aquaforest reef salt and I have been using the salt since mid Feb 2016 and I am very happy with it. I am also using the balling Method and my corals and tank look great. Expense wise it is about the same as RSCP but better result with my parameters. Red Sea Coral Pro would keep my alk too high and I was always dose to adjust. RC my heater was white and I would have such swings in parameter, and also dosing and I found the RC was not consistent.

There's nothing about instant ocean (or reef crystals) that would hold back coral growth.
