Well I tell ya this subject can definately provoke some heated discussion. Personally I will never use Instant Ocean again as I was one of the victims of the bad batch of salt from a few years ago and lost my entire tank and was so discouraged I just about quit.
Today I use Tropic Marin Pro on most of my tanks and Seachem reef salt on another. I am happy with both salts - both mix well, have consistent readings from batch to batch and bucket to bucket. For a while I was using Formula salt and if I could still find a realiable supply of this salt I would still be using it.

I have used Instant Ocean for many years. I now raise the calcium & magnesium levels when mixing, following Ben,s amounts {which I believe are from Randy,s RC recipe} and using his mag & calcium additives. I did have problems with some of the buckets with higher alkalinity but current ones fine.
I also have some Sea-Chem and like it. Seems like a good salt.

Ocean Pure Pro. Like someone said, it mixes really well and that goes a long way in my books. Have also used Seachem Reef Salt, which was also good to me.

IO or Kent, I used Kent before when it was made by IO, both have worked well for me. I tried that one with the little bottle but didn't like trying to mix it, learned later that I should have just put the bag in a bucket and added enough water to make it like soup then added the little bottle to that and mixed my water from there.
