Your going to get a ton of different opinions here. You may also see someone point you to a test that was done with a number of different salts to test the levels of each trace element in each. I cant comment on any of them because IMO only one sample of each brand was tested so there is no comparason to multiple batches. IMO this is just a guideline, and secondly I have used Oceanic for over a year and have never had any levels be low in what I test for. I can tell you that it is said that Tropic Marin is the best there is, but I have read posts where people claim using it has spiked their calcium levels above 600... LOL. So my advice would be to see what is readily available at your LFS. Look at the prices, see what the differences are in the brands available, I wouldnt use price as my only guideline but, I also would not bargin hunt a no name brand to save a few $$. JMO.
