I'm personally not salty about a batch of salt but getting salty if someone tells me not debate any issue while AF ask us to debate/ask questions at open forums rather than having one to one customer support. |

This issue may have caused a little dent in terms of reputation but from what I saw they have a broad and (good) product range. Having a look at tanks maintained entirely with AF products, specially SPS tanks, they absolutely stunning and I am sure the owner or care takers are very happy with their (good) products. |

Was that comment for you?? Nope didn't think so bro. We can debate things all day as long as they are constructive. The entire point is to help people .... Sounding "salty" to me. Lol So now I must ask. Are you currently using AF products and are you having a current issue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

[QUOTE=120reefer;25055261]Was that comment for you?? Nope didn't think so bro.
of course it was for me as it was for the whole salty thread We can debate things all day as long as they are constructive. The entire point is to help people .... Sounding "salty" to me. Lol yes of course it is about help but you see a salt issue let people become salty So now I must ask. Are you currently using AF products and are you having a current issue? hmmm, I still have some "reef salt" and after that I change back to my previous salt mix. I would't say they any better or good but it gave me a little more confidence? And of course the customer support of AF did not encourage me on that matter either Now even the other brand had some issues and asked their customers to roll the bucket a few times from left to right to "mix back the elements" and Since then I roll every bucket. My thoughts on this were "heck, your handle will scratch my floor thus, I rolled it outdoors praying that the lid doesn't come off. I'm sure my neighbors thoughts are "hey look the fool is out again and rolling a bucket" as too much salt makes us thirsty.. cheers |

I am so confused.. ..What exactly was fixed in the begining? From what date, or batch number is the salt supposed to be fixed?
I got a new bucket made in Nov, 2016 batch number 00596 and the bucket is changed. It's a bolder color and has a metal handle and not a plastic one like before. |

Not sure if this thread has died but thought I'd report on my experience. I mix up 60L at a time, I was using Red Sea and I'm now on my second bucket of AF. Never has a bucket mixed to what is written on the bucket, I always have to add something.
I'm on bucket number 000617. Mixed to spec on Mag and Cal, 0.5 dkh low. |

We are testing all batch of salt on ICP-OES - if you need detail of your batch I can send you results, please contact me. Home tests kit are not accurate as ICP-OES that's why you can see different results. Regards, Aquaforest |

I've used 2 buckets of AF reef salt.
Pros: I like how it mixes. Consistent numbers each week. No clumping/hardening No blue tinge in water complaints: mag is 1480 batch claims 1350 Ca is 400 batch claims I have had issue in both tanks having a diatom algae on my glass and sand. I have low nutrients and the only change was the salt |

I no longer use this salt but I will say that when I did I used the probiotics version. I went through four boxes and two buckets and I will say that I never received a certificate in any one of them. They never mix consistently either. I had the worst algae outbreak ever and it was the only change in my SPS dominant 180g system. I purchased a bucket at rap Orlando the last time. At the time that I was using this salt there was very little information out there. So when I went and picked up the salt at rap I was then informed that you must use the AF no phosphate supplement with this product. It would have been nice if there was information like that contained with the salt when you purchase the salt....
