hmm.. interesting that although most have been using Coralife, there are people who totally hate it.

Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore? Shouldn't it be 5 cents worth?

Been using H2Ocean for the past 4 months.

Very good salt as per reaction from my stocks (mainly SPS, Zoas, rics).

Mixed very well with little or no residue at 1.025. Water clear in less than 5 mins after mixing.

PH is stable at 8.3 +/- 0.05.

Sorry, never measure other parameter. Don't have the habit as I'm lazy. I always use visual monitoring only. :)

P.S. I had heard some reefers had some bad experience too.

If your mix had issue, just take it back and I don't think there is any issue having it replace. ;)
