    That's really impressive. What's the orange coral in the middle that apparently doubled in size from before and after?

    Have you tested parameters to see what the difference is? I assume it must be some trace elements if alk cal and mag are similar.

    I have been talking with the owner of aquacraft.net. it is the overall formula of the salt.
    As for parameters

    420 cal

    1350 mag

    9-10 dkh

    The trace elements ect i believe are better. Im going to send the water off to be tested in a month or so to get exact reading of everything
