Fritz Salt

[Travis Stewart]

Been using Fritz for about a year now and have been happy with it because it mixes near the parameters I am currently keeping. I have noticed that I have to mix more than 1/2 cup per gallon to get to my SG of 1.025-1.026.

Has anyone else had this problem or know why this is happening?

Bump

Yea I have to mix a bit more than 1/2 cup per gallon gas well. But it's still fairly close. I love fritz too. Best salt I've ever used. And I can get it for just a bit more than a box of IO base salt costs. And my corals love the ALK level and I like the consistency.

Could either/ both of you post your params on a fresh batch?

Can get a deal on this locally but see no info around.

Thanks!

What about your experience with mixing time and how long it takes to clear up?

From a recent new batch it was as follows
Mixed at 1.0245
Alk 8.5
Calcium 430
Mag. 1400
I switched from Redsea and had no adverse reactions
I do like how clean it mixes though

15-20 minutes and it's mixed. Mixes nice and clear.

 

[Travis Stewart]

I would recommend mixing a little longer, but 30-45 max when temp is also ready

 

[zchauvin]

30 minutes of mixing gets me these numbers at 1.026

Alk - 9.8
Calcium - 430

I am debating switching from Red Sea Coral Pro to Fritz. I hear the levels are so much better.

I like to try

 

[Travis Stewart]

I got a box of it for $50 so it's economically friendly lol

 

[dodgerblew]

Online or locally?

 

[zchauvin]

Same here $50 for a box locally. Very rare for sure but good salt so far.

 

[Travis Stewart]

Online or locally?

Yea locally also I think it's $60 online

 

[sundog101]

Yes I have noticed that.

Be Careful when doing this switch and keep an eye on your Alkalinity parameters. The Alkalinity in the Redsea Coral Pro is like 12 DKH and Fritz is like 8.5.
I am not saying you shouldn't do it but make sure to go real slow so you don't wipe out your corals

I thought this was crazy... my ORP barely dropped with a 15% water change. The big drop on the left was a 20% water change with HW last week.
