Maybe 'Kien' leaves a salty residue because that could be the thing standing between coming in a close second and clinching top spot?

I am completely unfamiliar with Fluval Sea so can't comment on it. I just know that a lot of people use IO with great success.

To answer the invisible poll question, I like to use a bit of Kien dissolved in RODI water for my water changes. Haven't tested it myself but been told by several reliable sources that Kien has high trace mineral content, (higher than IO at least).

Coral snow and marine snow are completely two different things.

Didn't you hear the whining in my voice like a petulant child?!? I should have added emoticons. I'm sure IO is a good product but I want it my way and I don't want to change. I am the horseshoe crab of the aquarium.
