    Right now I use straightforward IO salt. I am looking to boost my low calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity, and I am wondering if there are any good salt mixes that have elevated levels for good SPS growth.

    I hear good things about Pro Salt mix.

    Currently I use Reef Crystals after using IO for decades, thus far I am happy with the results.

    You mean Red Sea Coral Pro? I've read that Reef Crystals might be better too.

    Reef Crystals if you can afford nothing better.

    Red Sea Coral Pro. What I use and love.

    SeaChem Salinity. Bada** product from what reviews I have read. Unfortunately, very hard to come by.

    Yes that is the one. I see some really nice sps tanks that use it.

    My LFS carries 2 salts, IO and I think SeaChem Salinity. I have heard great things about Coral Pro but I don't know where to get it.
