Salt recommends these days

Brown sludge is nothing, ignore it. IO is great salt.

I vote for IO too. Pouring a couple additives in the mixing bucket isn't any more difficult than pouring the salt into the bucket in the first place. You only need to supplement calcium and magnesium with IO.

The least expensive you can find on sale.

Hey Deb, I prefer Reefers Best & I am not a fan of the H2ocean but my reef is sps dominant so you would have different requirements than me. I have always had pretty good experiences with Reef Crystals.

+1 on Reef Crystals.

Agreed. Same for me.

+1 For Me...

I personally use H2Ocean and find it has been pretty consistent for levels. I usually test every 2nd batch of WC water I make up to check, however my tank is SPS dominant.

For a LPS/Softy tank, I think your best bang for the buck would be Reef Crystals.

I've been using IO and dosing Ca and Mg... I have never seen any sludge in the bottom of my bucket. I don't have SPS though, only softies and LPS.
