I am looking for any reviews on the salt. Has anyone used this new product yet?

Bought my first bucket two weeks ago and mixed up 60 Litres using RO and 35grams of salt per litre. Heated to 25C and left for 24 hours. Results as follows:
S.G. = 1.026 (refractometer)
Kh = 9.0 (Salifert)
Magnesium = 1350 (Salifert)
Calcium = 420 ( Salifert)
Potassium = 380 ( fauna Marin)
Nitrates = 0 (Salifert)
Phosphates = 0 ( Deltec high sensitivity kit)

Overall I was amazed that the parameters tested were exactly the same as those printed on the bucket. There were some sand (?) grains left in the bottom of the mixing container and also a brown residue was left on the containers sides. I suppose that as it's made in a similar way to Red Sea's salt ( solar evaporative) that's to be expected.
Anyway, I did the water change and everything seems happy.

I have started to switch my Deltec aquarium over to the H2O salt. I will let you know what I find after some time has past.

Just out of curiosity, which salt are/were you using prior to switching ?

This (http://theaquariumsolution.com/node/481) should shed some light to your question.
