I've used it before, I didn't really like it, at the time I had some algae problems and I can't prove it but I think it was partially the salt mix. I don't remember the numbers from it but if I recall correctly they were pretty good. I have since switched to Seachem salt and I am never looking back, I love this stuff.

I've used it since the beginning and live it no complaints here...1smile1 one thing to watch thou is the calcium is way up there so adjust your dosing accordingly....

Thanks Troy.....Do you know what the Ca mixes on a fresh batch?
Poolkeeper1 from MTRC uses the corallife and has for over 10yrs...I think....swears by it.

I also have some type of salt from Hawaii....Can't remember the name...but the sell it for $119 for a box.

been awhile since i tested it but iirc cal is close to 550, alk was 9 and mag was around 1300....... coral life has always very persistent from my exp so i don't bother to check it all the time....

I use it mixed half and half with reefcrystals. I mix the salts because it helps keep MY system more stable. I don't really know why but it does.

I've used coralife in the past and had good results with it....I switched to Reef Crystals just because I can get it for just as cheap online.
