Tropic Marin Pro Reef, bye bye

[hsosa]

I got the brs waiting list notification I just brought the half bucket. now im good for the summer

 

[Butcher333]

Has anyone tried making their own salt? LoL

 

[CK00020]

Little buckets still available at brs

 

[mike550]

BRS has TM Pro available. Good luck!

I switched to ESV when we couldn't find TM. The salt mixed up very nicely and stored well for my automatic water changes, but once TM is more readily available I'll be going back - BRS actually has it in stock right now! The extra couple steps is just a little too much for me when I'm already squeezing in batches of saltwater late in the evenings that TM saves a bit of time.

I've been waiting to get Synbiotic, it looks like now they decided to raise their prices......awesome.

Not alot, but they did. Probably shipping charges.

HW Marinemix

I love it, but sold out half the time. Liveaquaria salt is not bad. When BRS is out of HW, I use Liveaquaria's salt.

 

[Conrad Noto]

I don't doubt the quality of Tropic Marin but it feels like the same issue as i saw with Triton. Despite really hoping to give the method a try i'm not about to cause needless instability due to not being able to get the product.

Triton is my band lol T R I T O N 89/90

Funny, I don't think I've ever had a problem with stock levels. I usually buy salt when on sale during Black Friday and get enough to last the whole year.

 

[Hincapiej4]

Am I seeing this correctly? THey got rid of the 80gallon and raised the price on the 200?

Does anyone know if TM changed the 'recipe' for Pro Reef? I have used the salt for a while and mixed in a white bucket with never any residue. I am now on a new bucket and I am getting a coating of brown gunk on all surfaces of the bucket and on the mixing pump. I can even see the water has a brown/orange tint to it once the salt dissolves.

 

[Mywifeisgunnakillme]

I still get instant ocean for $30 to $35 for a 5 gallon bucket, everything grows well, and i use tropic marine trace, so i doubt im missing anything but the cost of tropic marine salt and ahipping

TM salt, lol.

All for reef is amazing, but don't waste your money on salt.

I’m having the same problem and not happy! The residue is very noticeable!

The only reason I went with TM was the clean mixing. I may go to a cheaper salt when I need more.

 

[X-37B]

I went back to IO reg.
I mix 15 gallons at a time.
The residue can be eliminated with a 1/4 cup of rox carbon in a nylon sock floating in the mixing container.
I have done this 3 times now with repeatable results.
No residue left in the container and the salt mixes crystal clear.

Same here.
Found a bucket of TMP, $179.00.
Not a chance I’d buy that.
Salt is salt, but reefers, all different.

In China, the price of TMP is $90 to $100 per 25kg

All transport costs.

[Duffer]

Have bought 2 boxes of tmp since it’s been back in stock and not once have I had brown residue.

 

[Reef.]

Sort of agree but that doesn’t explain why other salts have not gone up in cost, I’m in Europe, Tropic Marin as far as I believe is produced in Germany, yet the price here is still expensive.

I’m moving to IO.
