I have added a couple of salt brand I had over looked. I am not very familiar with the Canadian market so all your help is appreciated. Let me know what other brands I may have overlooked. This research that I am trying to accomplish will only involve the Canadian market place.
I have also added a voting poll, if you do not want to answer the questions please vote.

I did miss Reefers Best, I tryed up-dating the Poll but it would not let me. Is there a way to get that done? I would like to add Reefers Best and Other.

I use two brands at the same time but your poll wont allow me to pick two. Instant Ocean with a Magnesium Chloride and Magnesium Sulfate mix because it is inexpensive and has high alkalinity but low magnesium. Then in another mixing container I use Seachem Reef Salt because it isnt that much more expensive and has balanced magnesium and high calcium. I go though 40gal of newly mixed up saltwater every week so cost is a big consideration for me. In the past I've also tried Tropic Marine (too expensive), Kent (unreliable and now unavailable where I live) and RedSea (also now unavailable).

Whatcaneyedo, this is very good information, this is what I'm looking for. If you can, just vote for the salt you use the most of.
Thanks,

Reefer's Best for my Reef tank.
IO for my FOWLR. But my FOWLR isn't really a FOWLR anymore. I have some Shrooms, Palys and LPS in there. I also run ZeoVit on both tanks. Because of these factors, I'm likely going to go with just Reefer's Best once the IO is used up. Long story, short....Reefer's Best.

Instant Ocean
Because it is inexpensive and has high alkalinity but low Magnesium and Calcium. I add a Magnesium Chloride and Magnesium Sulfate mix to bring the Magnesium up to (1300 - 1400). I also add Calcium Chloride to bring the Calcium up to (400 - 450). Lately I have been doing water changes of 60G on a 525G system once every 6 weeks. Tom R
