Red Sea Coral Pro for me. I've used quite a few different kinds and I find my tank inhabitants respond the best when this salt is used. (not to mention the numbers it makes are decent)

I assume Marine Environment and Bio Sea are brands of salt. Can we have links to these tests and the results of them, please?

Well, I'm resurrecting an old salt discussion here, but I've been having problems with IO salt. I just bought a 150g bucket because they were on sale, but it seems there is quite a lot of stuff in there that won't dissolve for me. I've even tried raising the temp to 90 to try to get more to dissolve... Any thoughts? FYI I wasn't happy with my old salt either.

Here's the thread on RC that has measurements from all the major salt manufacturers.

Keep in mind, while they shoot for specific numbers, you will find differences within the same brand if they're from a different batch.

That being said, I switched from IO to Seachem Reef Salt because I was tired of having to buffer my IO all the time.
