H2o ocean here. Good salt and works out to be cheapest option for me.

we use the salinity salt on our 90 display. I like it. I find levels stay fairly consistent each time I mix it. Each batch of salt does have different readings. 1 batch could mix calcium to 420 as per the pail. The next batch from a different pail could be 440 but the levels are marked on each pail.

I think petercar also uses this salt.

O now I know who bought it all and I had to order salt in. LOL If money wasn't an issue I'd buy H20 by D&D, I've used it in the past and found it to be excellent salt, But I use IO Reef Crystals mostly because of the price but it's still salt after all.

Hahahaha. No man! I went in and was going to get 10, only to be told that the person RIGHT in front of me picked up the last 10. It was 3-4 women that picked them up. I had to pay for them ahead of time and they ordered them in for me. 10 pails may have been excessive for me though. I got carried away with the good deal!

Aquavitro Salinity here like Petercar already mentioned. I get good deal on it at the shops in Michigan. Another thing I like about it is that on the bucket it says 1/2 a cup of salt will make 1 gallon at sg of 1.026 so using my wife's glass measuring cup I hijacked makes mixing salt really easy. I also find that with my weekly water changes that I don't have to dose calcium magnesium or alk as much.
