Opinions Please Which Salt Is Best?

I've been using Instant Ocean for a while now, but reading the boards I think I could use a better salt for a reef application.
I'm thinking Reef Crystals.
What does everyone think.

I'm using Red Sea Coral Pro for my tanks, reef and frag, and it works well for me. I haven't used Reef Crystals, but there are about the same levels of dedication there that I've seen with the Coral Pro salt, so I don't think you could go wrong with either.

There are soooo many posts about which salt is the best and why. There is also a chart listed somewhere on 5 or 6 brands of salt and the levels of trace elements in each. Of course this is one test for each element on one batch of salt so take that with a grain of salt. I believe Reef Crystals had shown the best levels of each. But I use Oceanic brand and have never had to dose in the year I have used it.

TM pro expensive but you get what you pay for the most accurate I have use so far I have used oceanic, IO, reef crystals, TM, red sea pro, if you have a large tank than I do not reccomend it for water changes will be twice as much money and can get expensive but 4sure the most accurate the only thing I buffer which you really don't have to is mag it comes in between 1200-1250 I like to keep it at 1350 but it is the only salt I used that is very close to good as is all test I have done using salfiert test kits
