A few months ago, I would have posted the exact same thing, but I have switched
to Oceanic salt, and I am very happy with the results. Much better CA, and alk
levels. disolves much faster/more clearly, no precipitate left like the IO
leaves behind, no faded corals like the bio-assay left.

Rod, do you dose CA/Alk between water changes?
Or you rely on Ca/Alk levels in the salt mix entirely?
If you dose them anyway, like I think you do, why is it so important?

Oceabnic still comes in a 200 gal mix bucket, where the IO 200 gal mix
is now 4 seperate 50 gal bagsthat are tossed into a box.

This last one could be a good thing...
Especially if you do not use up whole bucket at once.
The rest of salt remains sealed for the time you use it.

Why do you think it is bad thing? I would like it...
Anyway, I heard IO is now in 150 gallons mix buckets.
Am I wrong or they stop making 200 g mix buckets?

Anyway - anybody have seen full S-15 report and knows details?
