The best salts there are the IO Reef Crystals and then the Tropic Marin Pro if you go by the numbers. The ATI Coral has to much calcium. The red bars are calcium with the Salinity at 34.8 ppt. The orangish bars are magnesium and the last one is for Alk in dKH. They are saying the IO/RC is to high in Alk which is nonsense it is 3.9 meq / l. They are also saying the TM (not the TM-Pro) is to high in Alk which is 4.14 meq/ l. We recommend no higher than 4 meq/ l or 14 dKH. Than they are saying the KZ pohl is to low in Alk with 5.9 dkH, which is low. I can't read or translate th stuff to the right. That first blue bar is Germany " Ergiebigkeit" a means of productivity and I don't know what they mean by that.


NSW (Natural Sea Water)
Calcium 410
Magnesium 1290
Alk 6-7 dkH (2.25 2.50 meq/ l)


A good guide on water parameters
