Default Help choosing salt

Hey,

Most of us who started our hobby, by visiting lfs, probably had a choice of 2-3 different salts from what was in stock at the time and probably stuck to it for some time.

I used H2Ocean for couple years, just because this was recommended to me by the store I shopped at. But after water change I always had to work around the doser just to get the chemistry to where I want to.

Now I'm on Reef Crystals ( just because I had a plan to go fish only, but that changed and I'm back to mixed reef), but couple more pails later I will have to make decision and find salt that hopefully after a water change will not dissrupt parameters and I can keep dosing as I was.

Now I read article 'salt, salt, salt' and did not see salt there, that could be simmilar to so called normal parameters... either Alk sky high or most of parameters on a very low side.

The idea is to find salt that would be at same level as the tank. Any ideas? thanks

My tank runs at:
salt: 1.026
Alk: 8-8.5
Ca: 420-440
Mg: 1380-1410
T: 80F
