My testing of Salt mixes

[jeddy576]

Has anyone had any problems with coralife salt?

[bdare]

I used it a long time ago and quit using it because people said bad things... I personally never had any problems... I just gave into peer pressure

Five + years and happy with the results.

Salt mixes change faster then US presidents. So experiences and data rapidly gets outdated. It's one reason I never was much interested in spending a lot of time and money to analyze them. The day after the data publishes, all it takes is the manufacturer to change, or even just say they changed the formulation to make it all worthless.

That said, some mixes are genuinely poor choices, and Coralife seemed to fit that category years ago. It had demonstrated problems both from a chemical analysis perspective and actual bad experiences from expert users (such as Larry Jackson).
