What type of salt do you use and why do you think it is better then the others?

I have personally use IO, Reef crystals, hw marine, and Kent, and another that slips my mine.

I currently stick with Kent and it does not cost that much.

If I had all the money in the world I would use hw marine professional salt but I am not so I don't.

I use Crystal Sea Marine Mix.....I tried IO and Reef Crystals, then switched to Crystal Sea, mainly because my local reef guy uses it. I am actually very happy with it....

I use Mariner Environment 2 Part salt mix from Aquacraft. I order it directly from them and they ship to me at the same cost as the IO at my LFS. A 150 gallon mix will run about $73 plus or minus delivered. www.aquacraft.com

ive used IO, Reef Crystals, and Red sea they have all worked well for me but i think red sea is good for the price, reef crystals is just a little to expensive
