Yes, we used it for the first 10 months on our tank. We used the one designed for LPS not the plain one. We were very happy with it. It mixed well, good parameters and very good value for money.
We only changed recently to red sea coral pro because the local LFS gave us a very good price on it. We didnt have tons of corals over that 10 months but everything seemed to thrive. We have a large tank so it made water changes a lot more affordable.
If we cant get the price deal again on Red Sea Coral Pro we would def go back to using Blue treasure, never had a problem with it.

Did you get a chance to try it? Any feedback?

[Andre@ReefAquat]

Wonder if anyone can summarise that tests for us all. Give us a yah or nay it will be appreciated

Well couldn't get Red Sea cheap again. So last. 3 months back on blue treasure. Can't tell the difference. Red Sea coral pro sells here for $159.00 (660ltr). Blue treasure -lfs $79. Online $39.

I've only been hearing good things

[rickyb]

Thanks for the test results unze.
Does triton test exclude alkalinity and pH?

[unze]

Blue treasurer looks like crappy salt. very high calcium/ magnesium and many other parameters.

[Andre@ReefAquat]

Elaborate? To me it seems just like RS coral pro's params? Metals looks good

[Andre@ReefAquat]

Ping for unze

Based on the numbers listed in post #8, Blue Treasure is not something I would purchase. Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium levels are elevated and I suspect KH is elevated as well.

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

The magnesium, calcium and potassium do seem unnecessarily high, assuming that test is correct.

[Andre@ReefAquat]

Handy inputs. Thanks a stack. I will take this up with manufacturers
I'm also hoping that the sample was mixed well before tests as we all know what happens to various particles inside the bucket during travelling.

They carry a couple of different salts. Their SPS salt is marked as the following, but this does not mean they are actual test results.

I will have to run a few of my own tests when I receive some samples will share it here

I don't know what they could be thinking, because their NSW level guide for 35 ppt in that picture is very inaccurate. Pretty strange, IMO, to make such a mistake.

If using translator isn't a problem here are so far best salt test ive ever seen.

I used a lot of IO, and never saw any contaminants, but others might have had issues. There are so many salt products, or at least brand names of salt, on the market that keeping track of them is hopeless.

Only major issues I've ever heard about IO is their reef crystals causing brown residue on the mixing containers. I've never heard about foreign materials being an issue and if there were people would be all over it. I remember people made a fuss when IO changed their formula, for the better too. Maybe he's confusing that with bags of sand like Caribsea Special grade is very common to have foreign objects in them? Either way I kind of laughed at his comment about it.
