Why doesn’t the regular salt you sell come sealed up like this?

25 kg salts packed in cardboards are sealed with Aquaforest tapes (there is no way to open it without damaging cardboard or tape), the inside packaging is the same as in plastic boxes. So if you're worried about quality of packaging - you shouldn't be. The salt is well protected. And the reason for cardboard is very simple - logistics

Very nice !!!
Would love to have one or two of these Acrylic mixing/stirrer units as a reactor

Unfortunately there is not much info in the video of the salt blending process.
Is there any info that can be shared about the amounts of different salts being used and how it's been blended @Aquaforest ?

Andre, even if we're as transparent as it is possible, we can't reveal our technology process

Understand

I was unsure how much secret the manufacturers keep about the mixing of the salt which is a crucial factor in the consistency of the end products. And I got personally very disappointed by some of your competitors, hence I was hoping to get some background on your mixing philosophy.
But the repeated testing of the batches is a great factor in the quality process, glad you guys do that and publish your results.

Ive been using Red Sea Pro Coral salt for 2.5 years and have been happy about quickly it mixes up. I also saw a video about how they extract the raw salt from the Sea, very fascinating. Do you guys start with raw salt? I used Instant Ocean/Reef Crystal for years before I switched to Red Sea...mainly because I liked how RS mixes up and its batch tracking I can look at. I’m seeing very nice results with my first sps Purple Stylo. Do you feel your product would take me to the next level? Always open to trying new products. Nice video, amazing tanks!
