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.

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.
Gees really? Usually others will see this with a hannah compared to a red sea kit. Myself, i test almost every day, basically alk, always tinkering with my stuff otherwise i would test every so often. Its actually funny because i use 2-3 different test kits for each parameter, and they are all significantly different between results. Only 2 test kits that match is the hannah alk and salifert. Other then those 2, All my other test kits didnt match a few icp test. So i dont even know what to believe at this point, as long as i get a constant reading, everything should be ok. I love my hannah checkers tho, their great. But i always encourage everyone to use 2 different test kits for alk, and base it on stability.My Hanna checker is off by 1.1 dkh compared to salifert

Alright, Got my first 205 gallon box in from Premium Aquatics yesterday.
Came by UPS and box was in great condition.
Tried 1/2 cup per gallon as a starting point to find how much it takes to hit 1.025 SG.
I mixed up 3 (5 gallon) jugs of RO/DI water.
Happened to walk by the jugs 25 minuets later and it was crystal clear with no residue.
So, Shortly after started testing the SG and the Big 3 and these are my results.
At 1/2 cup per gallon.
1.025 SG
Cal = 430 (Red Sea Pro Kit)
Alk = 9.1 dkh (Red Sea Pro Kit)
Mag = 1420 (Salifert Test Kit)
I love these parameters
Came home this evening and made the first water change with the RPM.
Did you order it from Premium Aquatics too?Good to hear... I have the same 205 gallon box being delivered tomorrow.
Been using for a while now. Love itI 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?
Just curios...SaltwaterAquarium
Just curios...
Went back to PA's site Tuesday and said "Out of Stock".
Would you mind: Giving us your input after you finish mixing a batch for the first time?
Have used rc for years it leaves a brown resido on all my Rubbermaid containers. Have changed salt brand to Kent not sure about the brand you are talking about . I think the resido is clay
The brown residue is ferric oxide (just like the gfo we run in our tanks). Almost every salt manf adds it as it keeps algae from growing once stored in your storage tanks.
Totally normal.
Thanks! The team just got so much better with the Addition of Ann, Ferguson and JessicaAnd this my man, is why you guys are great!
