I have mostly used IO or TM and never had a problem with either. I'm currently using IO because it's the most readily available locally.

Once, a few years ago, I ran out of IO and decided to try Crystal Sea Bioassay mix.
Bad move - I wiped out all of my SPS corals... :(

red sea and marine enterprises-the two best, imo

red sea had the best and most consistent Ca, and Mg of any salt i've ever tested, and MEI's crystal sea is a close second

catalina is garbage, imo-nothing but problems

I've been using Oceanic, cause I like the air tight plastic containers.
One of the reasons why I'm using Oceanic too. Plus, the calcium is high. But it is a tad harder to find than Instant Ocean and a bit more expensive as well. I'm not sure what I'll be doing when I finish my two Oceanic containers and start the new tank.

I love red sea I have used IO, Kent, and red sea by far red sea is the best (IMO).

IO Takes forever to get mixed And leaves allot at the bottom.

Kent you get any type of moisture in it and the bad is a rock of salt.

Red sea take 15 mins and all salt has dissolved and is the closest to NSW that I have ever seen.
