    Cool, thanks... Angie, here's your thread back. Sorry for the hijack.
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

    old thread but just bought myself some new IO Reef Crystals salt that is supposed to have boosted levels of these minerals in it compared to plain IO.......I am going to start mixing it in with my plain IO salt until I get completely switched over. Any thoughts on this or has anyone else tried this stuff?
    The days are long and the work is difficult but every night I sleep as a man who has achieved his goals.

    I've used it before,switching between that and IO and never had any problems.IMO,they can be used interchangeably as they are from the same company and i'd assume they have similar mineral/element levels.This has been my experience when using both salts when one or the other isn't availiable.I do know from testing that ReefCrystals has a higher calcium level than IO but i've never tested either for mag.I have been using both brands now for the past yr and have never experienced stressed corals from using either.
    That said,i still dont get the positive reaction from my corals when doing WC with NSW.Something about the organics/plankton in it that make my corals happy.My problem is i'm too lazy to collect it otherwise i'd use it exclusively.
