I used to be in the same boat as you guys. There are lots of old posts with me saying IO + a couple supplements = WIN. Then I tried H2Ocean and never looked back (my SPS improved). Now, H2Ocean has much higher alkalinity than it used to, so I'm adding muriatic acid to it and everything else tests out fine. If you're not running SPS-dominant, I don't think there is much difference between one salt and another.

Except I run SPS dominant and still feel like salt is salt. I used RBS for 2 years in the 180, then IO for the next 2. No difference. Perhaps something else changed for you at the time you changed salt?

Regardless, the only salt I can buy is IO, so that's what I use.

I switched back and forth a few times to convince myself it was the salt because I didn't believe it.

Well, now you can buy Aquaforest on Amazon! *mind blown*

Still more than I spend on IO, which I'm happy with. Can't justify more money for no gain.

I've been doing this long enough to know that there are no miracles. Just stability.

There are miracles everywhere...take Radiums for example.
