Tropic Marin' here. Reccommended by the LFS and it seems to have all the same elements as sea water.

i wish i could use natural seawater. =( but since i am land locked i gotta go with instant ocean reef crystals. they disovle really well, and i love the bucket, keeps the salt dry. oh and because it is cheap and shows up at the front door.
