mike who makes it ?

tropic marine..

i mix 30g of new water and i am getting:
ca-425-435
alk---7.2-7.6
mg---- around 1250
i think its one of the best salts out there. one big minus....price

keep in mind that the values may be skewed by my test kits, but that the same kit was used on both salts, so they would be affected similarly. also just account for a margin of error as this was done in my living room (not a lab).
With all that in mind, i did not feel compeled to stick with the pro-reef over the reef salt. and besides that, i tend to be biased towards seachem products as i was always happy with them.
