    There are 1000 different salts out there and about 1000 reasons to use or not use each one.

    I use Reefers Best, After running IO, Kent, Ocean Pure, Tropic Marin Pro. I've found RBS to suit my needs best

    You can get the large bucket for $31.99 at Saltwater Aquarium Salt: Aquarium Systems Instant Ocean & Reef Crystals Synthetic Sea Salt and the shipping was $9.85. By far the best salt I have used.

    This link lays it all out there...Reef Salt Analysis

    It just goes to show why I reccommend Coralife.

    Yep...Best deal I know of especially if ordering more then a couple of buckets.

    DFS bases shipping costs on how much you spend, not weight.

    So I always add a bucket of salt when I make any order with them. ie. food etc. (which is also reasonable at their site).

    Bucket of salt only adds dollar or two to total shipping costs....

    No sales tax for me either!!!

    Thats a great survey/analysis, too bad I dont use any salt mixes, that would have come in handy. And its recent too. Luna
