Seriously... it's like toilet paper. Buy what makes your @$$ happy.

I for one buy the cheapest salt I find every 2 months and just let me reactors handle the rest.
Works for me, other swear by certain brands.

Like said below - anything that works for you will do.

I prefer Charmin.

I totally agree with a minor censor!!!!!!!!!!
I use Instant Ocean.

I just purchased Salinity by Aqua Vitro it is pricey but supposed to be great.

 

[hud3339]

I stick with my Instant Ocean

have not been doing this long but i have used IO both regular and RC. I currently use Salinity mostly due to price I paid for a bucket from someone as I don't think I would purchase due to the price. I have a box of IO at the moment but was LQQKing for the future, the Kent Marine has at:

Specific Gravity: 1.024 - 1.026
pH: 8.2 to 8.3
Calcium: 550 to 575 ppm
Magnesium: 1,350 to 1,450 ppm

I'm in the group that believes "if it's not broken, don't fix it". Salt is expensive, but a bucket/box will generally last a while. You're not saving that much when you really break it down. I have to ask the question... is it worth the risk?

NO NO NO IT has to be ANGEL SOFT that other stuff gives you a rash

Edit: Reef crystals here but seriously most of the non exquisite salts are out sourced and I would imagine all to the same manufacturing facility

 

[Jaycen B.]

The next salt I buy will be IO.

 

[sprinklerman500]

Reef Crystals,me like!

 

[darren24]

Reef Crystals here...

 

[miami dolfan]

Reep crystals before, now instant ocean.

 

[KrisDeitz]

I Mix IO and Rc

 

[ripped tide]

The "Salt" of the earth in my book. :yes:

Edit: OK, I will play along. I use IO. Why, because that is what they sold me when I started my tank and I have seen no reason to change.

Instant Ocean is good enough for the Georgia Aquarium, just sayin.

I use Reef Crystals though.
