Kent all the way, i used to use instant ocean but i find kent dissolves much easier and is finer, the only thing that isn't fun is that a Kent 200-gallon is $60 and a IO-160-gallon is only $40 so it's tempting but i'm still gonna have to stick with Kent

I use Instant Ocean, but I noticed that there are 5 paople on here that are claiming they use Sifto salt. I hope they are joking

I use Marine Environment salt...only available at Aquarium Illusions. I used IO for the first 15 months in my tank but I could never get control of my numbers and the salt just never disolved clean. After looking at a lot of other forums, like RC and RL and RAG, I found that most of those people swore by ME. Since making the change, I have to say, it's awesome stuff! A little more expensive but given what kind of dough we spend on this hobby, cheap salt seemed like a mistake.
Just my 2 cents.

Thanx much,
I don't know for sure how much I use. It is a little over a cup and I have it marked out on a small container I use. So yes it is ml, but 350 is just from my best recolection.
