Reef crystal salt mix

[dkle]

Does anybody use reef crystal who would like to share their experience? I've been using IO; but the Ca and Mg level are really low. Reef crystal is produced by the same company, so there should be a lot of shock to my tank. I read the company info and it says it has extra Ca. I would like to know if its Mg level is decent as well. thanks!

I use it and have continuous low mag even when using Randy's two part. However, I have been using it for years and have no desire to switch.

I love it, but the mag is a little low, but easy to supplement with a little of mag from the 3 part DIY using the reef calculator.

I switched from IO to RC 6 months ago. I think it's better, and have been very happy with it. I've used several buckets and all have had more calcium and Mag than IO. I still add a bit of calcium, but not nearly as much as I needed to with IO. FWIW I used IO for 5 years.

oh good, I just ordered a 160 g of reef crystals. I've been using oceanic and it runs low on alk.

I am happy with IO reef crystals.

I switch back and forth between RC and IO depending on what's available locally. Alk is about the same in my experience, ca is usually 20mg/L higher (380 vs. 360 for IO); I have no idea about mag though.

My RC usually mixes at about these levels..
I love it and use it exclusively

Alk:9.0
CA:410 ish
Mag:1300

I like it myself

[dandydan]

Every 23 ltr IO mix, I add 6.1ml ca and 6.7 mag, from Randy's 3 part.

I use it but prefer seachem reefsalt over. I can just get RC much cheaper.

I use it and love it (my coral do too :)) also if your buying it now go to Dr. F and S (foster and smith) because it is on sale for only $32 (excludes shipping)

I used to use IO but switched to Reef Crystals and won't change back. I just bought 3 buckets on Dr. Foster Smith for around $100.
