Well I think I am going to switch away from Brightwell Aquatics.  Not too crazy about it.  I can get this Aquavitro or the Tropic Marin.  What do you guys recommend but also I see a lot of great reviews for Reef crystals.  I heard about switching from natural to synthetic salts is harmful.  If I switch to any of these from Brightwell's is this a change from one to another?  BTW I have a reef tank
