Fantastic salt especially for mixed reef
I was excited to try a very highly reviewed salt mix with my mixed reef. I was using regular Red Sea that I purchased pre mixed from the local fish store until I bought a rodi unit of my own.The salt arrived quickly and undamaged. It contained one large bag of salt as opposed to multiple smaller bags which I believe they do to make it easier to counteract product settling and becoming non homogenous. Fritz claims that they grind the particles to a uniform size so this is unnecessary, but I took the bag out of the box and rolled it around plenty just to be sure.The instructions said to mix 1/2 cup per gallon of rodi water for a 35ppt solution. I also warmed the water to between 70 and 75 degrees F before slowly adding the salt as the instructions indicated.After 20 minutes or so with a power head, it was perfectly clear! Now on to my tests...I measured the specific gravity and it was dead on (after a bit of confusion with a refractometer that needed calibrating! Be sure to do this often, as mine was way off and would have had me diluting and being ticked that the parameters were low like I'm guessing the lone one star reviewer might have).It mixed clear, 8.5 dkh, 440 cal, 1410 mag - perfect parameters for my tank.After two 20% water changes, all of my lps look awesome and have much beter polyp extension, zoas and sps look like they are liking the switch too.Highly recommended.

Dissolves in minutes
I have my "mixing tank" plumbed into my system exactly like a tank. Pump pushes up, overflow runs down.For water changes, I turn off the return pump, empty it out, and refill with RO water and this. With a couple of old powerheads, it's crystal clear within 20 minutes. I do need to check the final value as it's a bit over or under, but not by much. Either add a bit more salt, or drain a bit and refill with plain water and it's good to go.

Fantastic Salt!
Excellent quality salt and it is amazing how close it keeps to 1.026 once mixed. Their tech support is 2nd to none! I have a 250 gallon tank plus 2 large sumps. All my corals, anemones, live rocks, stars and fish are thriving. Switched to this brand about 16 months ago, and what a difference!! I do a full 250-300 gallon water change, 8-10 gallons per day over 30 days. I make 135 gallons of heated pre mixed saltwater about 2 times per month. People come to see my tank all the time and take pics. I am very impressed with this salt.

Great Improvement over old salt mix
Switching from my old salt to this one was a great choice. I have had no issues with Chemical spikes. My levels have stayed on point during the switch. Follow the directions and you will have no precipitation. I mix by the 5 gallon bucket and it is clear in about 15 minutes. I drop in a heater after if clears and when it warms up it's ready to use.The tank looks better and the corals are looking really nice. Really extending and the colors have popped.

good product but scam seller
Fritz salt is the best out there, this seller is a scam and wont ship you anything, just take your money. Amazon wont do anything to help, so, now I am completely screwed over

Great neutral reef salt for a reasonable price.
It's a great neutral salt, which is not boosted with carbonate to raise KH. It has good trace elements, neutral ca/mag. I can do the boost myself if it needs. I use this salt since two years, and I never had happy corals like that before with fluval salt, seachem salt and aquaforest salt. It mixes really well and fast. Price is reasonable. Fritz is probably the biggest salt supplier for public aquariums in north america. It sounds something to me.I hope to stay with Fritz for years to come !

Great product but over priced, cheaper elsewhere
The Salt mix itself was great, im just dissapointed the seller is got it priced at £74.99! for a single big bag normally you pay slightly more for the box divided into 4 × 50gal bags, if i didnt need it in a rush i would have sent it back.

Good Salt at a reasonable price
This is my go to salt these days as it seems to be the best value for a complete salt mix. When you order these the box can get beat up a bit as the box is shipped as is. The last one I bought was damaged and had a small puncture in it but thankfully the bag was not pierced.
