I just asked this and the most responses I got was for "Reef Chrystals" made by the same company that makes Instant Ocean. I have Reef Chrystals on order.

Mixing is easy... I use a 3 gallon bucket which is 10% of my total volume, follow directions for ammount of salt, add ro/di water, add powerhead and heater.... Let it sit for about 6 hours. Once the temp is the same as my display tank and all the salt is disolved I check salinity with my refractometer. When temp and salinity match I dump that mess on in... Hope that helped.
