From my experience and testing (as well as independent testing) says that is far from the case

thank you amphiprion, so then is this more of a lower end salt. there are so many different salts available and they all say they are the best. I have been using instant ocean how does that one really rate. I have noticed sometimes that the corals react a little after a water change. meaning that they jut don't come out as much as other times and other times they do. I try not to add additives to the tank because I have had some bad information in the past and my tank really acted in a negative fashion. maybe I'm just gun shy now.
The only thing I'd recommend is boosting the calcium and alkalinity levels as testing warrants. Otherwise, it works just fine. I tend to alternate between it, Reef Crystals, and Red Sea (not its Coral Pro, but the regular). Whichever is on sale. I always check each new batch for the appropriate levels and boost if necessary.
I have also alternate between Reef crystals and red Sea. It's been working great for 5 years. I usually mix them a week before a water change and let it sit in a heated tank untill water change day
As long as its circulating, covered and at the correct temp, i dont see any reason why anything would change....its just like being in an aquarium but with nothing to pollute the water....
