I have used Aquavitro Salinity for well over a year now, it mixes very well and has very consistant values of Cal, Mag, Alk and PH. It is marketed as being the most concentrated salt available. I have had great results using this salt.

I am using Tropic Marin PRO for my main 120G display tank, all other tanks are on IO (for its price)

I am using H2Ocean in my tanks...however am switching some customers over to Fluval Sea...specifically have one target tank full of corals that has been on H2Ocean but moving it to the Fluval as I like what they say it will do...only time will tell as this salt took quite some time to actually hit the market...it's not cheap either so .... will see...

it's always interesting to see what salt people use and why....I REALLY like that both H2O and Fluval Sea mix amazingly crystal clear with no residue..no "dirty" bucket like when we use the Seachem or IO salt...ugh! My own tank at home will be another tank we test the Fluval Sea on....

I like KENT sea salt, but I don't have a LFS so I use what I can get!

Started with IO works well for me and cheap to buy as well.

Tried it once, years ago. I'd maybe take a drive into Duncan and get some IO

That's the problem. Duncan only sells seachem and coralife now. Not going to do IO any more.
