with the new tank, I switched to seachem reef salt. I was tired of having to measure out 2 table spoons of this to get IO up to where it needed to be, 4 tablespoons of this, and 1 table spoon of this.
Honestly, to be able to dump a bunch of salt into some RODI water, check the salinity and know you're good to go is worth the extra 20 bucks a pail for me.

I am ready to buy some additional salt when I head to the Coast later this week. The Kent I am using is giving me some pretty odd test results, I must have gotten some of that odd batch others had mentioned.

After reviewing the summary test report posted here earlier I am looking at purchasing either Seachem Reef or TMP Reef. Mostly to minimize the need to dose as DanG mentions.

Any additional thoughts on this issue?

I now use Reefers Best since it's become available to me. It's not on the pole so I couldn't vote.

Do you have to dose your Seachem?

When I originally started my tanks I was using Instant Ocean, but switched after 1 bucket to AquaMedic Reef Salt.. But debating about starting my 75G with RBS.
