I actually started with Reef Crystals and didn't like the high alk, and switched to Instant Ocean, and couldn't be happier. My alk is now more stable and constant.....I maintain alk and calc by dosing two part.
Here's a good read from Dr. Randy Holmes Farley:

Who's going to be the first idiot to buy that? I'm happy with using the dollar store turkey baster....that cost a whole dollar. Now if I was a dealer and needed to "wash" a load of frags, a DC1200 pump, a bucket and some tubing for less than less than $50 would give me my own frag washing...
WooHoo! I got Sunday off and I can now attend. Marcus @trio91 , if you want to swing by here, we could carpool together. I don't mind driving if you can withstand an un-air conditioned truck.
Tim, he's all yours.....I actually PM'ed the wrong person....sorry about that @Mikeamadio . I was just concerned having that fish in a ten gallon tank.
I had the mysterious black box over my JBJ28....but with that funky canopy. The pot's were also turned down pretty far....way too much light for a 28 gallon tank...but the price was right.
You can see the whole canopy build HERE.
Sell the kid, keep the fish! :eek:
The issue with tangs is that they need the open swimming space. Now I say that having two zebrasomas (which shouldn't be together), in a five foot tank. So take my advice for what it's worth.
I buy gas about every month or so....to have it ready. After that month or so, I dump that five gallons into my truck, and then refill that gas can. That way I always have fresh gas. That's the one thing that caught me on Sandy, not having the gas....and with no gas stations open until...
Yep! Stale gas. Glad to see you got it running. After Sandy, I drained the gas tank, and it sits dry right now.....ready to be gassed with fresh gas....and starting on the first pull.
Ed, this was my favorite nori that I use to buy at the East Brunswick Oriental market (on Rt 18). But they redid the store and reduced the selections of nori....and this one was no longer available.
To answer your question, I've tried a couple different varieties at H-Mart, and still...
Here is what I do. I purchase nori from my local oriental market....H-mart in Edison is a great store. I then cut the full sheets into quarters and put into sandwich bags. When I'm ready to feed, I'll take two of these sheets and first fold them in half and cut:
I will fold this again...
The door is always open amigos! And actually my Spanish is terrible....I spoke German at one time.
Don't you just love auto-correct....even in Spanish?
Now, back on track with amino acids.
