I have used most salts on the market and they are all are fairly consistent. I used Tropic Marin with great success in reef tanks, Fish only tanks and Invert only tanks with good consistent success...Healthy, thriving and Growing animals. The best advice I can give you is pick one that you can afford and stick with it.

So far I have used Corallife - which I stopped using as my calcium was way up like 600+, so then I switched to Oceanic. But after I bought it I found out it is high in Calcium as well. So now I battle calcium between 540-620 thus far. I read on another thread that several folks on here mix IO and Oceanic to get the perfect balance for PH, ALK, and Calcium.
I purchased a small box of IO so I can start doing water changes with this and see what happens. If it works then I will alternate between the two when I do water changes every week. We will see

I use Tropic Marin Pro..it's the best salt on the market as far as I'm concerned.

Tropic Marin, I used IO and my tank suffered. Just today I tested my mixing tank Cal 420, alk 10. I'm thinking of using the pro-reef next and give it a try. Have to do some reading first. Its very consistant I wouldn't use anything else.

I have used Tropic Marin, Oceanic, Instant Ocean, and Red Sea before. But since trying Reef Crystals, I have had not switched. -- has given the most consistant test results over the past 6 months, so I see no reason to move off it now. However I will say that if I ever did decide to switch again, I think Red Sea would be my second choice.
The only other salt I am willing try is the Seachem stuff, but unfortunately I am unable to find it around here to test it out.
