This is not the probiotic version. I looked at their parameters as posted by aquaforest and looked pretty similar between the main 3 Alk, Ca, and Mg. Triton and I are not going to be able to test for those organics and figured its not worth the time or money to test both versons. I did get the basic marine salt and will so that one next.
There is listed slightly more Iron in the non-probiotic version which I would figure it would be the other way around as some microbes to uptake Fe. The Probiotic version includes Br but this version says it does NOT. We'll see
It came with this little sheet
Description on their site:
Designed for aquariums with more demanding SPS and LPS corals. It does not contain bromides and can be used with the assisted by ozone filtration. It does not contain any probiotic bacteria or growth media. Phosphate and nitrate free. Upon filling new marine tanks it is recommended to let animals in not earlier than after 10-14 days.
And their website gives these ranges

Also, just noticed the bucket says Low Bromide and their site description says no bromide. Will find out soon enough with in Triton's LOD.
At a high 35ppt
Salifert Ca: 475
Salifert Alk: 8.6
Salifert Mg: 1590

Doing this one again. Triton had some technical issues when I sent this one in annd they sent me back a new envelope to send in a new sample.
I have mixed it up to possibly a hair under 35ppt but I'm happy with the numbers tested and lines up with previous tests listed above and lines up with the line looking a hair under 35ppt this time.
Ca: 450
Alk: 8.16
Mg: 1560
Looking forward to seeing what their definition of low Br is.
