Seems like people having tuff time getting Royal Nature Salt. I had the same up until 4 month ago. There is a new distibuter moving in getting it out to the stores. Go onto Royal Nature USA facebook page there is contact info they will tell you where to get it. Thats how i found out what store had it Instock. It looks liek the facebook page had a picture of tons of Salt coming to the USA.

I have been using the aqua craft coral marine in my systems and all of my maintenance customers I like how fast it clears up zero undissolvables left behind.

I find it interesting that few people use ESV.

It may be intimidating mixing 4 different things, but it's actually very easy and a very good salt for a healthy reef tank.

I was using Reef Crystals the first year my tank up. I switched to Red Sea Coral Pro and my zoanthids are running wild! Mixes a little cloudy, fo not over mix per the instructions but it clears quickly. My coral loves it and even my plates have better color using this with weekly water changes! Great stuff recommended by the BRS crew.

In this hobby what's not expensive? Esv all the way will never go back to I.o or R.c u can use in minutes. And your corals will love it.

Switched to esv 3 months ago and never going back. I use a litermeter and RSCP was leaving a residue in my mixing tank that was accumulating inside the lines to the DT which throws off the calibration. Not good. Can't believe how clean it is. My sps perked up the first day and coaraline algae exploded.

I used it all, and then discovered ESV. Simply the best I ever used. Mixes great, easy to measure and high in quality. Reef crystals , instant ocean are very in expensive and the quality just isnt there. For those people who have priceless coral and fish ESV is a great salt product. Thats why I became a dealer.

Never heard of ESV. Gonna have to check it out. May I ask why is it so much better than reef crystals, and other brands of salt?

The reason why it's better to me is that I can mix it to what ever level I need plus there's no need for me to role or shake it.
