[QUOTE="novaman, post: 750434, member: 2744"] Well this has officially gotten crazy. Let's clear the air. I am not suggesting sulfur need not be supplemented. I am suggesting that salt blocks with sulfur in them are a waste. Most loose minerals have some sulfur in them already. Adding sulfur with the salt will be excess and not necessary. If you are in a situation like me, high sulfate in the water, you are trying to cut sulfur any way you can. I'm sure there are many without high sulfate in the water but, again there is sulfur in most loose minerals so the blocks are not necessary. Plain old white blocks is all I would recommend. However, Santas and Duhram Reds, I cannot go along with the idea that calcium, a macro-nutrient like you suggested, can be left out of a mineral supplement under any system. The Ca:P ratio is too important to ignore. [/QUOTE]
