    i use red sea coral pro salt and really like the results. i dont dose anything anymore. i like the elevated levels of cacl, mag, alk. it ensures that my levels are where they need to be (for me at least). It doesnt mix as quickly as io brand. but i love it.

    Whatever is on sale...I have used them all, and never noticed any real difference in my corals or anything else. Yes different salts have different levels of different things, but just never noticed any improvements or declines in three years.

    I use Kent and IO in each water change 50/50. 3 cups of Kent 3 cups of IO. I do this b/c Kent is way expensive and I also dose 2-part as well as other weekly additives so I'm not too worried about loosing trace elements.
