I'm switching from Seachem Reef Salt ($54/160g mix) to Saltwater Correct ($70/160g mix) in a few months. I am starting to buy all of my bulk reef supplies from there, so I mise well go ahead and order my salt from there as well. Might start getting discounts. lol!
I'll start posting my results as soon as I can get a batch in to test. :D
I think it pretty much goes without saying that the more you pay, the better the quality of salt. LOL!

Picked up my salinity today I will do my first water change with it tomorrow. My usual water change consisted of 10g a week. I may go to 20g every two weeks with the new salt. I will have to give it some more thought.

Mixed my first 12g batch, calculations for salt to water ratio was spot on. Lois after few hours the water cleared up.

Supposedly the extra potassium in the mix makes the water a little cloudy when mixing. But, it is also attributed to better colors on corals.
Just as a side note, if you have any cuts on your hand, WEAR GLOVES, potassium burns.
