sunny d polyp is an unknown quantity at this point
Nutri-Seawater

What do you all think about this product? I have started using it for a month now. When I do my weekly partials I have noticed my LPS and shrooms respond by swelling and feeding responses. I have done tests on the product and it has all the neccesary values of NSW, except it has a specific gravity of 1.027 which is higher than I keep my tank (1.0255). I use RO/DI and mix Tropic Marin Pro Reef, I have a total of 11 fish and the tank is full. It's an 46 bowfront and run 2 refugiums, T-5's, feed the fish twice a day and the inverts lightly everyday and heavy feedings 3 times aweek. If anyone has had experiance with the product or know wether or not it's worth $15. a pop let me know.
Thx, Sunny D Polyp.

Hi Sunny and to TR.

I have never used this product so I personally can't give you any advice. The feeding responses you see indicate there is "something" in the water that the corals like so it is obviously different than synthetic. Is this better? I imagine so. Is it worth $15? Personally, I'd probably not spend the $ for it. My weekly water changes would cost me over $30!

Thank you Carmiejo for your reply, I push the limits of my tank, so I want to make sure all stays well with it. It's only a 46/gal bow so the extra cost is not a problem, I just certainly don't have the money to throw away. Thank you once again.
