Although lately I'm leaning less and less toward reefer's best because of the price.

I really don't notice a difference when I do a water change as I am doing them on a weekly basis. I haven't noticed any growth spurts or regression in growth rates.

It's just my theory to mix it up frequently, that's all.

Hope that this helps.

I second that its good to switch up salt brands all the time.
I did like h2o because its suppost to be natural salt, but who knowns.
I just switched from 8 mounths of H2O to IO, and no differance as of yet.
