[NanoDJS]

I swear by it now and even got flamed for supporting it when I posted about it . LOL and I am like the only guy not trying to sell ish or anything on here just a lifelong enthusiast

I am in the same boat, I'm impressed with it and don't plan on changing and I hope the company doesn't change the good thing they have going.

A new lfs in my area that I want to support is selling it, for $60. I use hw from brs now and I see the parameters are similar. I'm going to pick up a box when I need a new supply.

I have ran R/C for my salt for years, but I had recently noticed that I seem to be getting a film on my circulation pump and the bigger problem is that the last box I received had low magnesium, with 0 tds RODI water at a .026 salinity I tested it at 800. So I thought this was a bad batch so I replaced it what the heck a new box and it tested out at 850. So that being the case I switch to RPM. I am very surprised at how fast and well it dissolves and even more important it test out at .026 9 dkh/1300-mag/400-CA which I can work with. The price is 44.95 for 205 gallon box witch is very close to the price of RC so that's nice.

This is the first box I've tried out, but so far really happy, anybody else using this salt and what are your thoughts?

Where did you find it for 44.99 a box

I love my fritz rpm . I get it locally for 55 a box . Mixes clear fast and leaves no residue

There Are 2 LFS in my area that sell it at that price.

I use RPM as well. When I bought my tank the LFS gave me 100 gallons of water as part of the deal and he used RPM salt. So I have continued to use it as that's what I started with.

I switched to RPM a few weeks ago, did my second 10G change this weekend. I'm switching over from RSCP.

I'm having some inconsistent alk tests as I was showing 8.12 dKH with my hanna checker the first 10G, and the second 10G (bought new reagents for hanna) I was showing 8.01 dKH. I'm going to go pick up a salifert test kit here in a bit to test again.... I tested the tank in the morning and it was showing 8.23 dKH then tested it later that night and was showing 8.9 dKH. Last couple months my tank had been testing at 9.48 dKH so I'm not trusting my hanna to much right now.

Salifert test is what I use to back up my Hanna checker. It's an easy to read titration with a decent color change that is easy to see.

I've started using Fritz with my new tank build.

I've started using Fritz with my new tank build.

When I finish up the last of my Red Sea (Blue Bucket). I'm going to give it a shot.
If it mixes to
Cal. 440
Alk 8 - 9 dkh
Mag 1400
at about 1.025 sg then I love those parameters

Where do you buy yours from and cost for the 200 gallon?

 

[cobergas]

Been using Fritz for three plus years now. The best part about it is how quickly it mixes, the price point of the salt, and the params that come with it.

I was first introduced to it in a demo at Reef Currents 1 in Houston, Texas. Since making the switch the mixing containers are cleaner, mix quicker saving my water change time, and do not hurt my pocket book as much as some of the other brands did.

I never endorse any product for use but I would have to recommend this to anyone who wants to start up a tank.

Have used Fritz pro last two months. Had a lot of sludge, DKH stability, Diatom, and slime issues with reef crystals. All gone after switching to Fritz. My tanks have never looked better.

 

[twistedfinn967]

In early November I filled out a contact thing on the Fritz website asking where RPM was available in my area. On 11/8/16 I got an email from Shawn Hale, the national sales manager for Fritz Industries. He thanked me for interest in their products, said he would be happy to help me find what I was looking for and where was I located. I replied back with my info same day.

It's been 2 months and no reply. If the national sales manager can't tell you where the product is available, I have to wonder about the whole operation!

Love RPM..

I use 2 hannah checkers at once, and there always off by 2ppm of eachother lol plus youll never be able to see a .1dkh difference in a salifert. Its deffinitly something to not worry about or loose hope over. Youll always get a reading .1 dkh+/- with a hannah checker, as its even included as its accuracy.

 

[Sabellafella]

Im planning on switching to fritz as well. Ive ben using io rc since my bane of reefkeeping, and im getting tierd of the inconsistent mag+calc levels from box to box. Plus i clean my pumps, heaters,probes and wc tank once a week due to that binder.

Hi TwistedFinn967, you are right and I must apologize. I had a crazy November and a new addition to the family in December and failed to give you good customer service. Unacceptable in my book. I am happy to send you a free box of RPM for your trouble and also take care of your initial question. What is your email or please just email me at [email protected]. Again, Sincerest apologies. Good news is we just hired two new people that will definitely help us take care of our customers into the future. We really were getting behind due to our growth.
