Anyone use Catalina Saltwater? I found a local retailer that sells it for about 60 cents/gallon. I've heard some good things about it, but I don't know how it measures up against say Instant Ocean. I'm considering going down the Catalina route only becase I don't have and R/O unit and I know really want to invest in one right now. Also, all my saltwater mixes have had low pH's and nothing I do seems to be able to boost them. Right now, I'm hanging around 8.0 and can't seem to get it to rise about 8.1. The Catalina water is 8.4 and has a density of 1.0025. But I don't know anything about trace elements in the water or anything else.
Keep in mind that I'm running a FOWLR tank until next May or June and then I plan to migrate into a reef tank.
If you know anything, good or bad, let me know.
