The best salt ever

For these reasons, I use IO which is still cheaper even after dosing, and only takes a whopping 45 secs of my time to dose.

So...for those of you who think there really IS a "best" salt, what difference does it make on your inhabitants? WHY do you think your chosen salt is best? Do you have a justifiable reason? If there is justifiable reasoning behind spending $100+ on a bucket of salt (and I don't find lack of dosing a justifiable reason), then I may be compelled to try out one of the newer brands that have hit the market recently.

I agree with you.

Not to mention IO is used by many public aquariums. I myself just can't justify $70+ on a bucket of salt when dosing works just as well.
