Hmm.. seems v far from advertised numbers..

Ie.. ca said to be 500+. Mg 1600+.

maybe quality issues or test kits..

Any other bro has any numbers out there?

From what I read, am I right to say blue treasure salt gives higher Ca, Mg, Kh. While Red Sea coral pro & DD provides not as high Ca, Mg, Kh, but higher amounts of trace element?

Mix 50/50 Blue Treasure and RSCP for water change lor...perfect match...LOL!

High Ca, Mg & KH is not necessary good when you want to maintain absolute stability.

I would rather the Big 3 (Ca,Mg, KH) numbers are lower to match my tank parameters so there is no swing everytime I change water...

My comments on Blue Treasure:-

1) to wear a mask when you are adding the salt as it is so fine that it floats in the air and it is not good if you happen to inhale

2) after I throw an airstone in to circulate the salt in the jellycan, I notice fine residual at the base of the jellycan which cannot be dissolved.

I wonder if any one using Blue Treasure has the same issues. I have switched back to Tropic Marin since. Not a big fan of China-made products anyway and if they can do funny things to human food they can do anything...just my personal opinion.

RS Coral pro also can see lots of powder floating around when pouring salt into water.

Im very happy with RS coral pro as of now.. only need 1 hour + to mix salt completely and achieving crystal clear water.. never had any cloudy problem with this salt..

Its not ideal to mix the salt brand as the parameter will all be out.

I second to the statement. Printed statement and actual composition need to be verified.printing like talking is cheap. Consistency and reliability are solely lacking in China made products. Responsibility is not a trait.

This hobby is just too expensive to take a big risk for a small saving.

Ever wonder why mainland Chinese prefer to buy milk in HK?

It's my personal opinion based on real experience.

Cheers,
