    Seachem reef salt, seems to be more stable than IO.

    Maybe a little late, but I use oceanic. Levels are pretty close to where I want them, I dose a little.

    Also probably late, but I use Red Sea Coral Pro Salt. Been using it since day 1, so 2 years now. Very happy with it. Water parameters are always right on the money.

    I found that I like D-D H2Ocean, this salt makes reef keeping easy!

    I've been using Oceanic since I began reefing in February. High Calcium (500+), high Mg
    (1500) but low alk.

    I've never been particularly happy with my results, although admittedly I never knew until recently about the low alk (bad test kit I started with, never buy a Hagen Master kit!)

    I'm switching to Red Sea Coral Pro after this bucket, to see if that makes any difference.

    Get back to me in another year! :D
