I've always used Instant Ocean because that's what was first recommended to me, and I've read pretty good reviews. From time to time, I'll buy Reef Crystals (made by Instant Ocean, I believe) if it's on sale because it's dosed with extra calcium.

I have been using Aquarium Systems salt for quite sometime now, either Instant Ocean or Reef Crystals. I have tried some other brands, but have not been impressed and always switched back. My latest experiment is with Tropic Marin Pro Reef, but I have not used enough yet to notice a difference one way or the other.

IO. It is the most readily available in my area. That, and the fact that they use IO to make the SW where i get my water for waterchanges...
