481 votes sounds like a pretty good sample.

You can't go wrong with the RC! And I think the poll bears this out or at least the majority agrees.

481 out of what--50k or 100k people on here? That's not a good sample...

With both IO and RC they have about 50%. Gonna be hard to change those results very much, Imho.

Plus I've already made up my mind, how about you?

FYI: The lab analysis of various salt mixes that AWT is working on will begin January 2nd. I will post the results on RC when I have them. Happy New Year!

if you are happy, and things are doing well with IO, you should stick with it.

You really should check your numbers before you decide to do anything.

I always say if your tank looks good, it is good.

I wouldn't switch just on the basis of having heard good things...
