I would like to hear some opposing views to this.

IO is a decent salt for the price, since when did 80 dollars become acceptable for a bucket anyways. Every salt has ups and down's, im to lazy to dig up the charts at the moment, but at a glance the price per bucket adds up real quick for people with large tanks. Besides no salt can make up for your indoor air conditions which may play a factor in your ph.
