Default Salt reviews??

I had receintly obtained a open brain coral, it was not in the best of health. I knew my ca was a little low (360-400 at best) and same with my pH 8.0.
Ive maintained my sal @ 1.025, temp at 78, no2-0, no3-0, kh-9, PO-0, nh-0.
After placing said coral in my QT noted it wasn't bouncing back as well as the suncoral was. After checking a few forums tried testing my Mg. got a test kit and found my QT- 950, and my DT-1000. I use IO, and since I am almost done (maybe another months worth) I am looking at changing my salt mix. Research on the net has given me some options to consider coralife salt seems to be the top runner since most users found they did not need to supplement ca/kh or mg.
I was also looking at Aquavitro Salinity (gotta admit it's really nice that they have mineral content printed on the side so you know at x SG you will have xyz minerals).
THOUGHTS?! Good/bad/ugly..I want to hear it all.
Really don't want to dose so I'm happy if I can get balanced salt without the need. Plus most salt is on sale...so $49 a bucket isn't bad!
