yeah dakota, considering i use a billion brightwell products daily, i figured their salt must be perfect. plus, i'm a sucker for packaging hahaha. now, i am not trying to knock what you use in any way, just trying to get your opinion on it since you use brightwell salt. anyway, my two good reef buddies tried brightwell for a short period of time, and aside from the weird chemical smell, residue, and sort of burn-to-the-touch feeling when the salt wasn't thoroughly mixed, it actually ended up making my their chalices start to recede and lose color. now, it could be that cuz my boss uses the Ultra-lith system (sort of like Zeovit) and doses most stuff in the tank, his alk went sky high, which i think is already fairly high in brightwell's salt.
what ticked me off so much is that i heard this same thing from numerous people, all independent of each other, who used this salt at one time or another. i am really hoping they tweeked it a little bit to fix this, because i was SO SO hopeful when i saw this salt hit the market, and became really confused when these results started popping up.
sorry i threw the thread kind of off topic, but dakota, because u mentioned BW salt, i just had to see if u EVER had these problems with it, if maybe it was only an issue in the first few batches they came out with, and if now it is a reliable salt. i am very happy with seachem, but i am just hoping BW salt is the quality it should be with that name behind it. nearly every main product they make is great IMO, so thats why i ask. sorry for the long post...
edit: and luvmyacans, i jus saw you post that u use it too, if u could comment at all i'd love to hear anything. thx
