Stopped using tmp due to the low alk of 5 dkh, that was over a year ago.

 

[wickedfish]

Ya I got a batch of that one too. Also stopped because of that.

I was told by the Tropic Marine US Manager that alk of Tropic Marine Pro is making very low around 6.00 as well as Calcium. You can contact or email them directly they will tell you.

You can really only get a legit response if you mixed the whole package all at once. I asked a lfs earlier this week what the alk was in his newer batch and we tested it. Its was 10 alk @ 1.021-22 76 degrees. I was shocked it was the regular one also. The one that makes 300 gals. hth

The regular one alk is higher around 9.5-10 and calcium is around 390.

Many years ago when I used the reg TM salt it would run 7-8 at 1.025 So that was shocking to me.

the regular one seems to be higher then the pro. dont know why. but im back at using dnd and mixing with IO alk is 10

 

[wickedfish]

Ya the reg TM I never had an issue with nor the other besides many tests to get it at the right levels for my tank.

Did you give up on IO?

 

[wickedfish]

I gotta blame something. But ya I might switch to TM regular. Might go pro if it's at least 7-8dkh

Can you let us know the first batch your measure of the Alk when you switch over?

 

[wickedfish]

Sure thing won't be till next week I have this IO already mixed.

TMP is not as low as all the salt haters think. I read every thread on it when I can just to see the excuses people come up with to blame something going wrong in their tank.

I've been using TMP for the last 10 months. The alk is never below 8.. in fact it's usually right around 9.

Ya John, Kinda like RSCP salt. Bucket says 12, but I constantly test 9. With my weekly 40 gallon batchs.

Wait, wait, WAIT! From late 2010 till mid April 2011 the alk was all low. Never had alk higher than 7.0 at 1.025 at 78 Farenheit. Even the calcium was 410.

Tests for alkalinity were salifert and lamotte. Calcium was only done through elos.

After April 2011 I don't know because I got fed up testing then re testing alk every single WC and moved to IO.

Glad to hear that TMP is a more tank friendly alkalinity than the 6.5 alkalinity days.
