Tropic main pro salt

[Btreefing]

I switched from red sea pro salt to tropic marin pro and noticed a big drop in orp. 330 to 220, I sent out a sample to get icp tested from ati and nothing is alarming. I lost an acropora from couple days after but other then that everything is doing good.

Did you perform a large water change?

IMO ORP is essentially a useless parameter to monitor in a reef.

Whats your plan if its out of range?.....exactly...

RSCP and TM Pro have waaaaaaay different levels. Coral Pro is like crack salt, it's very high nutrients and the ALK straight mixed is 12. The initial adjustment from the tank depends on how fast you did the switch. Did you do a 100% TM salt and big water change?

I did a 20% water change, have a 220 gallon and didd 45 gallon change.

Using red sea my mixing tanks would start getting nasty after a couple weeks. The tropic marin is still clean after 3 weeks. I adjusted my alk, cal, and mag in my mixing tank before water change so I know none of those were off.

So orp isn't anything to panic over?

I think most don't even monitor orp lol. I know I don't.

The biggest difference is the alk TM is 7.5 CP is 12
