Just want to know what every one thinks about this. I use oceanic salt for now and I usually get the 200 gallon bucket but lately I have be getting 2 bags @125 gallon each total of 250 gallons of mix for $5 more than the buckets BUT ever since I have been using salt from the bags instead of from the bucket my calcium has been way lower than it used to be, I was just wondering if it could be the salt even know its the same salt but one comes in a bag and the other in a bucket. I have got more corals since I have changed to the bagged salt but they are all pretty much frags that are the new additions. I do 20 to 30 gallon water changes every 2 weeks. Had water tested at aquatica today and calcium was @ 370 usually was @ 420 to 450 magnesium was 1270 but never had that tested before and PH was a little low also @7.8 all of which I never had a problem with until I started using the bagged salt of the same brand name I usually use.
