Thank you Big E and also thank you for all of the information that you have shared on ATI T5 bulb combinations.
If I am understanding correctly, if the Triton is off by 400% for Mn, how can we trust other values for trace elements?

Aquaforest Reef Salt.
This is not the probiotic version. I looked at their parameters as posted by aquaforest and looked pretty similar between the main 3 Alk, Ca, and Mg. Triton and I are not going to be able to test for those organics and figured its not worth the time or money to test both versions. I did get the basic marine salt and will do that one next.
There is listed slightly more Iron in the non-probiotic version which I would figure it would be the other way around as some microbes to uptake Fe. The Probiotic version includes Br but this version says it does NOT. We'll see
It came with this little sheet
Description on their site:
Designed for aquariums with more demanding SPS and LPS corals. It does not contain bromides and can be used with the assisted by ozone filtration. It does not contain any probiotic bacteria or growth media. Phosphate and nitrate free. Upon filling new marine tanks it is recommended to let animals in not earlier than after 10-14 days.
And their website gives these ranges
Looks like you need to read between some lines for aquaforest. The parameters listed and QC tested look to be for 33ppt.
Also, just noticed the bucket says Low Bromide and their site description says no bromide. Will find out soon enough with in Triton's LOD.
At a high 35ppt
Salifert Ca: 475
Salifert Alk: 8.6
Salifert Mg: 1590
Hi there, thank you for doing all of this, and for sharing your results! It has been very interesting and super helpful to me, and many others I'm sure.
I was wondering if you've had the chance (or plan to in the future) to test out Fritz salt mix? If you have already and posted the results, forgive me, I am being lazy and figured I'd just ask. Thank you again!

I haven't done Fritz yet. Eventually, if I can find it, I probably will. Up coming will be Aquaforest Probiotic, Red Sea Coral Pro, and Coralife.
Are you tracking how much salt (by weight) each brand takes to reach 35ppt? I'm curious if there's much variation between brands and if the claimed gal per box/bucket is accurate.
