I have used coral pro for 9 months. Never liked it.

Now my live rocks gets purple with tropic marin reef salt after 9 months of coral pro experience.

Good so far, I have seen SPS grow a ton and my param are super stable. I bought a Rainbow Monti about 3 months ago that didn't cover the top of a normal, small frag plug. It has since encrusted the entire thing and is growing onto the rocks on both sides of the plug...

My sps corals started growing much faster with tropic marin reef salt. And they regained their original color again after coral pro.

Is that the Petco store brand of salt? I noticed the other day when I was in Petco that they were running a 200-gallon bucket for like $29...not a bad deal if it is a quality salt.

I don't know. I'm from Eastern Europe. But I loved tropic marin pro reef salt.

I'm currently running the Triton method and they recommend Tropic Marin as well as their own salt to make corrections. TM seems very stable and I've had nothing but good results.

I recently switched from Red Sea coral Pro to the regular, Tropic Marin reef salt. It was recommended by Adam, from Battle Coral. Parameters are a lot more stable, and having a mix that ranges from 9-10 alk helps with my consistency. RSCP salt alk was a little too high for my liking 12+

tropic marin is the best salt IMO.

Have you ever used any other salt ?
