MECorals Nitrate, who's used it?

[ClearRain]

Has anyone used this product? How did it do? Most of my corals have the washed out pastel look to them so I ordered a bottle of this, wondering if it's decent.

Do you have any reason to think it is better than food grade sodium nitrate that is cheap and easy to buy from amazon?

I don’t Personally but from what I gather from talking with the owner at ME coral at nap NY I would buy pharmaceutical grade over industrial just to have the piece of mind, one example he was telling me was when mixing up cheap salt mixes sometimes there is brown residue left behind in the container and that’s from industrial waste of some kind that’s not refined down as as far as pharmaceutical grade ingredients not sure if we’re comparing apples to oranges here but I love the products me coral has now with their coral food and soft pellets as well as major and trace elements.

I certainly do not recommend "industrial grade" as that is not any specific thing. Food grade is very good, inexpensive and readily available.

The salt mix thing is not correct, IMO.

The mix known for brown deposits is reef crystals. It is not brown from "industrial waste".
