thinking of switching to esv

[charliethetuna88]

Im thinking of switching to esv I've been using I/0 for awhile now but looking for something consistent that will mix up better and gimme an alk of around 10.2.

ESV was the best thing I did tuna, just make the switch,LOL
all my levels are dead on with esv

It is more work but it mixes so quickly that its work it.

I did a water change in one hour this past weekend, that's a new record.

Thanks guys I set my cal reactor up and I want a salt that will be consistent my alk stays at 10.2 in my with the reactor I wanna match it up with my water change alk does anyone know what the alk is with the esv salt

Don't want to hijack the thread but I want to go in the same direction and I feel this relates to your original post.
I am wondering how the different components are measured to achieve accuracy between batches.
I assume this works better when mixing larger batches or SW and I normally do 10 or 20 gallon PWC.
Any comments?

 

[charliethetuna88]

No problem chime in bro .the only reason I think esv may be better is cause its steady parameters .I truly belive it don't matter to much on what ur parameters are as long as there steady .so getting a salt that will always mix to the same para is key for me .I really wanna match my tank alk with alk from my waterchange

 

[charliethetuna88]

I think vsry component is separate and the chart tells u what to add

 

[Imbarrie]

I ask because I have heard of a reefer in MR using a very accurate digital scale.
Some of the components of ESV are highly concentrated and the variation between doses could swing levels IMO. I am probably just overthinking this.
Wondering if other people are going that way or if they are merely using some kind of inexpensive measuring cup. Want to add up all costs before I make the switch.

aqua hut doesnt have it guys

 

[charliethetuna88]

I think esv gives u the measuring cups with the salt thanks jeri how u liking the esv

Been using a $20 food grade digital scale, and it's been working out well. Consistent.

Esv !! I too use a digital food scale I got at target. Works great !!

 

[batt600]

Hay charlie I been using it from day one and I never us a scale , all you need is the right amount of water and your good . Its always died on for me with no scale.

 

[jerl77]

i love it just got a 200 gallon mix today for deer park i will say this is the best and only salt i will use from now now jmo

 

[charliethetuna88]

Thanks guys I'm gonna do it

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

i WOULD DO MORE RESEARCH BEFORE JUMPING, IT IS GREAT SALT BUT MAKING SURE YOU MIX IT RIGHT IS THE KEY. SOME PEOPLE HATE THIS PART ABOUT THE SALT
