I have been using coralife salts the one marked lab grade and have been very pleased except for my ph level 8.0
After reading so many praises about instant ocean I tried it!!
My ca usually ran about 420 to 450 but recently started to drop. I do not have corals just a fowlr tank.
I test yesterday and today and found it down to 400.. this was after a 10% change with instant ocean.
Something I failed to do was check the instant ocean before I used it so today I did and at 1.026 sg have a ca of 350ppm
I use seachems test and check it against the reference.
I mixed up some corallife salt and it was at 480ppm. Now I do expect both of these to lower slightly after 24hours.
