Seachem is also coming out with a new salt. It's called "Salinity"

How do you like it so far, i switched to it am happy with the levels. Not to happy that it does not seem to mix well and my skimmer gets filled with alot of junk after a water change. Other than that, i can not justify the price going to try brightwell stuff after.

It's been said to mix the SW with a strong powerhead for 48 hours before use.

How long are you mixing the salt for?

So far I like it,as FISCH stated I let it mix for 48 hours before I do a water change with a maxi-jet 1200.I have not noticed any change in skimmate production,I change 5 gallons a week.

so far I'm happy w/reef crystals. i will start varying salt mixes eventually though. Alternating I guess you could say. Each mix will have less of this and a lil more of that so I feel alternating with water changes is the best way to capitalize on that.
