It's funny you mentioned that one, I was just looking at it last night. So is it easy to mix ? the dry/wet thing was throwing me off a little. That and the price for a 200 gallon mix.
Lol ! ESV is a good salt but the price and difficult availability not to mention the added measureing and mixing and testing really turned me off to it. I like simple and dependable so it's neo for me. And yeah I'll take more mohawks for the new tank wall!! Good luck and pet connections has a great price on neo marine.50 bucks a bucket fyi and they almost always have atleast one

+1 on Neo. I used RC for a while and switched due to some of the inconsistencies of the batches. I run a ZEO tank so the lower alk is very important to me (7.5). When my alk drifts higher then 8.5, I experience burnt tips. The NEO salt mixes clean and does not leave residue at the bottom of the mixing container. Potassium is also very important to my zeo system. I sent an email to Brightwell Aquatics and they confirmed that a new batch of fresh saltwater at 1.025 will have a potassium level of 400. I've tested the potassium on a couple of new buckets and all have been very close to 400. The ESV sounds nice, but mixing my own salt just sounds like extra work.
