What salt do you use?

coralife and oceanic are owned by the same company, fyi.
i use seachem reef. the trick with it, and any other salt, is to roll the bucket around a few times, every time, before you open it up to use it. these salts are mixed in a giant concrete mixer with their additives, and stuff settles in the buckets over time.

Seachem because it high in calcium and its 45 bucks for 40 pound bucket at keen reef. I did a calcium test on just the mixed water which was 450ish.
Instant Ocean - I consider that if it's good enough for Georgia Aquarium to use then its good enough for me
If I'm already using Salinity, would trying some of these others be a step backwards? A lateral move?
Face it, if stuff grows, doesn't die and the chemistry is close, how good does good have to be? We all want the best for our tanks, but at the price of some of these mixes..... I think I'm ok with merely "good"

I have the same question dak, I currently use Salinity - a bucket lasts me 2 months or so but I probably need to step up my water changes. Im doing a 25% every other week but am still getting trates and HA, im going to try 25% weekly to get things back in check.
is there anything out there better than Salinity? would I take a step down trying something else, Salinity is great but expensive

I don't like it that the smallest container of Salinity you can purchase is the the huge pail, as that is a year's supply for my 30g tank, so smaller available quantities would steer me in the direction of another brand, but as long as I can find another member to split a pail with me, I guess I'll stick with Salinity....
