I just ordered a bucket of it this week. I have been using microbe-lift Reef SALT for a couple months now and it seems to be working fine for me. No complaints.

WATCH OUT! However, I just noticed today that this clearance at DR. Fosters is for SEA SALT, Not REEF SALT. Basically, the calc, mag, and maybe some other trace elements are much lower and are not recommended for a Reef tank. Too late for me, but unless your Fish only you might want to hold off on this order.

I am probably going mix up my batches between reef salt and sea salt to use the bucket I bought. So its not wasted. My tank runs Calc very high anyways so I think I can get away with it for awhile.

Kinda disapointed in the website, it says "Available in two formulas for Fish-only or Reef aquariums " yet, no choices are there for the Reef salt version. Mine has not been delivered yet, but I am guessing I will be stuck with the sea salt version.

Hope this helps.
