    First I cannot dis any other salt brand since all I've used it Tropic Marin for past 6 years. Here are my reasons why I use it.

    1) Not highest levels, but I run based tank knowing the levels it has.
    2) Levels have never varied in any batch I bought
    3) 3 to 4 LFS carry it by me - this is always something to think about in case of emergencies!

    4) buying in a 300 gallon bag brings the price closer to other salts.

    I recommend it to local new reefers I help and would recommend it to you. What ever salt you purchase always test the make water and understand what it does or doesn't have. Also lest thing stick with one salt what ever it maybe.
