I don't want to get into the ugly which salt is better discussion as that is not the point of my post, there are enough of those threads out there.
What I would like to know is has anybody out there actually used the Marine Envoirnment Salts in their tanks. I see that it did score the highest of all synthetic salts in the S-15 report and also see that it is a 2 part mix. How is this 2 part system for actual ease of use. I see that they sell in 3 different packaging sizes, is it easy to measure out the mixture in 1 - 5 gallon amounts? I typically mix 15-30 gallons up at a time depending on which of my two tanks I am doing a water change on.
I also see that they state you should do a 25% water change every 4 - 6 weeks for optimal results, now I typically do a 20 - 25% water change every week, would it still be ok to do weekly changes, I would be happy to do bi-weekly if I can keep my nitrates and phosphates in check.
The other question is does anybody know of any LFS around that carry the ME? I would prefer to pick it up locally than try and ship it the first time around anyways.
Thank you for any info that you may have, and again this is not a which salt is better thread just a thread on pratical exerience using this specific brand of salt.
