Anyone use ESV B-Ionic Seawater System salt mix??

Really in the title. Looking to switch from IO as the parameters have been mixing super low. Ran RC before that and it left my mixing station super dirty plus super high and inconsistent alk. Degraded fast in storage IME also.

Open to recommendations on salt mixes that have consistent parameters of around with minimal to no precipitation from longer hold times (over a week preferably)
Alk: 8-9dkh
Calc: 400-450ppm
Mag: 1300+ppm

You may want to look into nyos. Mixes clean, stores well for me and meets those parameters

ESV is fantastic salt. NYOS and HW are great as well IMO

I used esv for years. Ts very good salt and since you.mix in the mag alk.and calcium yourself you will and up tailoring the levels to your exact specs. So write down the weights and measurements you use to make.it easier later on. I got away from it bc I was tire of all the measuring and mixing. I'd tour water wasn't at the exat spot you measure from all.yoyr measurements will be off. So it's a double edge sword. Good salt but you gotta work for it lol

Same here. ESV may be the best there is, however, after years of use I just got tired of the measurements and scales. Kind of a lame excuse because it’s not hard to mix up a batch.
