I normally use IO, I ended up with 7 buckets of Seachem ( very long story ) and I hate it. I'm scared to use it, my tank always looks worse after water changes.

I'm doing 40G water changes/week so I'm going through a bucket of salt a month. It would be hard to justify double the cost per month

depends if you have thousands and thousands in livestock

I started out innitially using Reef Salt from seachem but switched over to IO recently. For the time being, I've only had to dose calcium and mag...sometimes strontium in my 8 foot tank. Mind you, there aren't many calium hungry corals in that one...mainly softies and mushrooms.

I have been using IO for the 90 that is currently being born and I havn't hade any issues with it as of yet, but we'll have to see once corals/clams etc start making their way into the tank

I've used quite a few different salts and none give me the results that Red Sea Coral Pro does. This is by far the best salt I've used.
