I have 2 tanks 120G main floor with LPS using H2O?
and 280G down the basement just fish only for now.

I guess its all a lot of personal prefference to what salt we all use but for me it does come down to cost somewhat. I started with IO in my first reef tank but then was introduced to Reef Crystals. It made switching over easy. I like to try to stock up on Boxing Day so it's Crystals all the way. I tried the SeaChem additive as well but found them to be to expencive & not as good as bulk additives.

For me, it's the cost that guides me. IO salts that way to go if money is a concern.
That said, I really don't have any experience with any other brand. I grow SPS predominant, but I do dose Calcium and Alkalinity, and Magnesium.

But I think that, when your corals start to grow significantly, you will need to dose to keep these parameters up anyway. So I'd rather do it this way than using expensive salt, and still having to dose, even if it is not dosing quite as much.
Hope this makes sense.

I used seachem. Good salt. I only switched when it got hard to find in Edmonton.

Much better results than when I used IO.

IO is crap in my opinion. But as grizz said... It's all preference and results vary.
