I'm assuming you've seen this? http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...readid=1287118

I've tried Instant Ocean, Red Sea, Kent, Seachem Reef, and Tropic Marine Pro... Out of those I liked the Tropic Marine the most. Not sure why, just my opinion I guess.

Wondering what makes the salt "Best"?

I've got no problems with IO other that I spend an extra couple of minutes to add some Mg and Ca when making a batch.

for me not having to add anything else to the salt is what makes it better (but then again maybe I'm just lazy), so I for different setups different salts may work out best.

I just use IO and dose. Dosing costs less for me, and I have never had any issues with IO. Plus the other salts are harder to get and shipping really isn't worth it.

Same for me. I have been using IO since before time began.
