cmanning Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hello, I know several of you reefers have tried Tropic Marin. We stayed with Oceanic for the past 2 yrs. and everything seems to go smoothly. Lately since we add some SPS to our tank, we decided to give it a try on TM. We'll see how it goes and check out any growth improvement on corals. My question is does TM dissolves as quickly as Oceanic? Appreciate any input from locals. Thanks, Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I haven't had any experiences with Oceanic, but Tropic Marin mixes within 3-4 minutes of hitting the water. I haven't had any leftover salt pieces/granules in the water mix bucket ever (not like Instant Ocean). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I noticed the same thing. TM seems to mix more evenly. I have mixed it for ten minutes and it worked fine. I usually mix for 24hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKarshens Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 It does mix easily but I would still suggest letting it sit for 24 hours with a powerhead running in it. That way it is thoroughly mixed and you can make sure the parameters match your tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
