I have been looking at getting my AWC system back online and wanted to try a new salt.
After reading and researching many brands I opted for the Quantum mixed macro probiotic salt as it was more inline with what I like to keep my parameters at.
I mixed the salt at 1/2 cup per gallon in 77deg RO/DI water and it mixed really fast with no residue then cut off the mixing pump and let sit heated for 8 hours then I tested and was very surprised my tests were pretty much dead on what the company said at the given S.G.
I have been running it doing a 1.5 gal AWC on my tank 24hrs a day for over a week and the coral seem very happy and my levels are exactly where I want them.
Time will tell but it might be a good salt.
These levels will change as I add more coral and will have do dose to keep them up but so far so good.

They make 4 different salts:
Mixed Macro Probiotic Salt= for mixed reefs

This is the company website:

Here is where I bought mine from:
https://www.aquariumspecialty.com/quantum-usa-mixed-reef-macro-probiotic-salt.html

I was just wondering if anyone else is using this salt, and what you experience is with it.




 
Any updates ? Are you still using it ?
I just bought this salt along with 4 bottles of the additives .
 
I'm going to chime in and revive this post for anyone else that comes across it. I have met Will in person and can hit him up whenever I need to as he is local. He helps in his parents LFS(which I love as they do mini-quarantines as a normal prior to selling) and it's my primary place to get fish or Quantum products. Awesome guy, and has a passions for what he does. I'm about to switch to the salt the next time I buy some. So far I have used Coral Cane, the three color intensifiers, Bio-Enhance, and Fish enhance. I have been amazed at how well my young tank has grown. My Duncan colony went from 3 heads and 10 more started growing all at once. I had to rescue a Rainbow BTA that was on it's last legs and about the size of a dime. Target it feed it shrimp and coral cane that was soaked in the Bio-Enhance, 5 weeks later it was full color and thriving, and bout 2 or 3 weeks later it split. Since I have just left it alone and since it has split 2 more times. With Fish Enhance my Copperband started devouring frozen food within a couple days. Also, that is how they get all the Mandrin Dragonettes in the shop to eat frozen food. I have just switched from the color intensifiers to Easy E and Easy Z, so can't speak much about that at this time. So far I'm loving the products and it sure doesn't hurt that I can talk with Will in person and buy it directly/locally.
